Multiplication Meltdown

This worksheet was designed to be used as an assessment tool, to check your students’ understanding in multiplication and the various strategies to solve multiplication equations.

It is a part of a larger unit where students develop their skills with arrays, repeated addition and skip counting into strategies to begin multiplication and division questions.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
  • We are learning to multiply and divide one- and two-digit numbers in word problems using a variety of strategies.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for 3, 4, 5 and 10 and apply this to related division facts.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts of two, three, five and ten and related division facts.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, using different strategies.
  • We are learning to solve multiplication problems using mental and written strategies and calculators to check our answers.
