Your students can practise their three-digit by two-digit multiplication algorithm whilst flexing their fitness and coding skills with these engaging worksheets.

The first part of the activity involves students working out the answers to some calculations. They then use the answers and the code provided to reveal the secret exercise. After performing the exercise, the students are then challenged to write calculations to create a code for a classmate. They swap their work, break the code to discover each other’s secret exercises and then perform them.

This resource includes three differentiated versions of the worksheet. The first does not require regrouping, the second needs some regrouping and the third all requires regrouping.
