Is your child working at Year Two expectation for multiplication?  The requirement is to recall multiples of 2,3,5 and 10 upto and including the twelfth multiple. We have been improving our recall of these this week. Try asking your child questions involving these multiples to support their learning in class. We have also discussed that multiplication is commutative  which means that it can be done in any order applying facts that we are more confident with to calculate the answer. If your child is competent at this already try the inverse operation of division.
