Identify the main differences to how you solve these problems.

8. What other cultural differences may our learners face?

9. Always, Sometimes, Never
In your groups sort the cards according to whether you think the statements are always true, sometimes true or never true
Stick your cards to the paper
Use the paper to test your answers
Always
Sometimes
Never

10. Coffee break (15 mins)
Have a look at the other posters

11. Numeracy Core Curriculum
Rearrange the core curriculum references according to their level

12. ESOL resources – pulling out the maths

13. Lunch

14. Take a look at the resources and discuss how they measure learning
Resource Workshop
Take a look at the resources and discuss how they measure learning

15. Numeracy Café now includes area for ESOL learners

16. Your turn!
Make your own resource and identify how it measures the learning taking place
Please help yourself to coffee

17. Different Methods, Same answer

18. Long Multiplication What is long multiplication?
A number multiplied by a 2 digit (or larger) number e.g. 25 x 13
Is there only one way to do?
Are there any tips that can help make it easier?
October Kindly contributed to the Adult Basic Skills Resource Centre by Gaye Noel Park Lane College, Leeds. Thank you Gaye.
Main curriculum links
N1/L1.3 Add, subtract, multiply and divide using efficient written methods.
N1/L2.2 Carry out calculations with numbers of any size using efficient methods.

19. Methods of Long Multiplication
There are 3 main methods:
Lattice method
Splitting (grid) method
Traditional method

20. Lattice method – part 1 25 x 5 = ?
1. Make the lattice (grid) as shown 1 2 5
2. Multiply each number above a column by the numbers in every row
3. Write the answers in the lattice. Making sure you have only 1 digit in each triangle

21. Lattice method – part 2 25 x 5 = ?1 2 5 1 2 5
Add along the diagonal
2 + 0 = 2

22. Lattice method – part 1 36 x 8 = ?
1. Make the lattice (grid) as shown 2 4 4 8
2. Multiply each number above a column by the numbers in every row
3. Write the answers in the lattice. Making sure you have only 1 digit in each triangle

23. Lattice method – part 2 36 x 8 = ?4 4 8 2 8 8
Add along the diagonal line
4 + 4 = 8

24. Lattice method – part 1 36 x 13 = ?
1. Make the lattice (grid) as shown 3 6
3 x 3 = 9
2. Multiply each number above a column by the numbers in every row 1 9 8
3. Write the answers in the lattice. Making sure you have only 1 digit in each triangle
3 x 6 = 18

25. Lattice method – part 2 36 x 13 = ?9 8 4 6 8
Add along the diagonal line
= 16

26. Try the questions at the bottom of the worksheets

27. Grid Method – part 1 255 x 5 = ? 255 splits into 200, 50, 5
First split the number into hundreds, tens and units.
255 splits into
200, 50, 5
Then, multiply each of the numbers by 5.
200 x 5 = 1000
50 x 5 = 250
5 x 5 = 25
This can be placed in a grid

28. Grid Method – part x 5 = ? x
200 50 5
200 x 5
50 x 5
5 x 5
1000
250 25
Finally, add the three numbers together to get your answer.
1000 +
250 25 =
1275
 So 255 x 5 = 1 275

29. Grid Method – part 1 255 x 25 = 6375 First, split the numbers up.
255 splits into 200, 50 and 5. These go along the top of the grid.
25 splits into 20 and 5. These go down the sides.
Put the numbers on the grid

30. Then, multiply each number in the column by each number in the row
Then, multiply each number in the column by each number in the row. Have a look at the grid below.
Grid Method – part x 25 = 6375 x
200 50 5 20
4000
1000
100
1000
250 25
Add up each column, then add the resulting numbers together.
4000 +
1000
100 =
5100
250 25
1275
6375
255 x 25 = 6 375

31. Try the questions again using the splitting method

32. 2 1 x 3 Traditional method 21 x 13 = ? 6 3 2 1 2 7 3
3 x 1 = 3 write down the 3. 6 3
3 x 2 = 6 write down the 6
10 x 1 = 10 write down the 10 2 1
1 x 2 = 2 write down the 2 2 7 3
Add the numbers

33. 4 5 x 3 Traditional method 45 x 34 = ? 1 8 1 3 5 1 5 3 3 1 2
4 x 5 = 20 write down the 0, carry the 2. 1 8
4 x 4 = 16, add 2 write down the 18
30 x 5 = 150 write down the 50, carry the one 1 3 5
3 x 4 =12, add the 1, write down the 13 1 5 3 3
Add the numbers

34. Try the questions again using the traditional method
