Help your students build confidence and flexibility with multiplication using our Strategies to Multiply Larger Numbers POWERPOINT! This interactive presentation introduces a range of multiplication strategies that students can use when working with larger numbers - supporting efficient problem solving and deeper understanding of number concepts.

The resource includes eight different strategies, such as friendly factors and the box method. Each strategy is clearly explained and supported with examples to help students visualise and apply the method. The interactive design of the slides allows you to easily navigate between strategies, making this a valuable teaching tool for introducing new approaches or revisiting familiar ones.

Strategies to Multiply Larger Numbers POWERPOINT is perfect for whole-class modelling, small group instruction, or as a reference tool when supporting students through maths problems. The flexible structure helps students learn to compare strategies and select the one that is most efficient for a given task - building confidence and fluency with multiplication.
