Check understanding
- Notice that all fractions equivalent to 1/2 have a numerator that is half the denominator
- Use the pattern 3×4=12, 3×40=120, 3×400=1200 and explain the generalisation
- Derive 8×7 from 8×5=40 plus 8×2=16 and describe the strategy as a general approach
“When your child notices a pattern — like that multiplying by 4 is the same as doubling twice — do they use that generalisation to solve similar problems more efficiently?”
