This week in Maths, our children have been working as Maths Partners to help each other master multiplying 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.
Working in pairs, they took turns being the Coach and the Solver:
🧠 The Coach
Asked helpful questions Guided their partner through each step Encouraged careful checking
✏️ The Solver
Solved the calculations Explained their thinking Learned new strategies from their partner
Together, they practised setting out long multiplication, spotting place-value patterns, and checking answers with estimation. The classroom was full of teamwork, encouragement, and great mathematical talk!
We are so proud of how confidently our pupils supported one another. Fantastic effort, everyone! 🌟
