Year 1 Multiplication and Division

The ability to count in multiples of two is a useful mathematical skill when starting to learn the two times tables. And, importantly, children who have a good understanding of their times tables generally enjoy maths more and are more confident when learning new mathematical concepts.

In this video we start learning to count in multiples of two with a little help from Twoo and her friends and progress to counting using a 'washing line' and ultimately a counting stick, which we like to use as a visual aid when learning the times tables. Why not make your own multiples of 2 counting stick to count along with us or practise on your own? Just click the link below. We recommend printing or sticking the sheet onto card and, if possible, enlarge to A3.

The ability to count in multiples of five is a useful mathematical skill when starting to learn the five times tables. And, importantly, children who have a good understanding of their times tables generally enjoy maths more and are more confident when learning new mathematical concepts.

In this video we start learning to count in multiples of five with a little help from Stevie and his friends and progress to counting using a 'bead string' and ultimately a counting stick, which we like to use as a visual aid when learning the times tables. Why not make your own multiples of 5 counting stick to count along with us or practise on your own? Just click the link below. We recommend printing or sticking the sheet onto card and, if possible, enlarge to A3.

The ability to count in multiples of ten is a useful mathematical skill when starting to learn the ten times tables. And, importantly, children who have a good understanding of their times tables generally enjoy maths more and are more confident when learning new mathematical concepts.

In this video we start learning to count in multiples of ten with a little help from Shelly and her scuttling friends and progress to counting using a 'bead string' and ultimately a counting stick, which we like to use as a visual aid when learning the times tables. Why not make your own multiples of 10 counting stick to count along with us or practise on your own? Just click the link below. We recommend printing or sticking the sheet onto card and, if possible, enlarge to A3.
