Check understanding
- Calculate 40 × 6 = 240 mentally using place value
- Explain why any number × 0 = 0 and any number × 1 = the number itself
- Multiply three numbers mentally by choosing a useful pair first (e.g. 2 × 7 × 5 = 2 × 5 × 7 = 70)
“Can your child work out things like '6 × 0', '1 × 35', or '100 ÷ 100' instantly in their head — using what they know rather than working everything out from scratch?”
