1. Using set 2 folder card to
reinforce multiplication and
division
Resource - Card 5 - Counting folder card
(Materials language stage/year 2)

2. Good morning class, as you saw in yesterdays class we are experimenting with different ways to count groups
of numbers.
If I were to show you this, how would you know how many faces there were ?
Lets count them together, how many do we have in each square? (pointing at square’s one at a time) yes we have
5 in each. How can we know how many we have all together? Student: We can ‘count on’ ? Lets try together…
5,6,7,8, can we count on any more ? Or is there a different way ? Student: “if we double 5 it would be 10” wow
that’s a quick way of counting isn’t it!

3. What do you think we would do it there was another square?
We can’t just double can we ? Would it take to long to count ? Student: ”We could count
in 5’s” lets try that together, 5, 10,15 !

4. What about another square ?
Lets count in 5’s again together (pointing at each square as class counts) 5,10,15,20. how
many groups of 5 are there all together ? (chooses student, student answers 4) Now is
there a way we can check we are right ?

5. • We could count them individually? Or would that take to long?
• Are there any other ways (looks around to choose a student, chooses student) student: “we could count
backwards and see how many 5’s there are” okay lets try that together (all together pointing at squares as
class counts) 20,15,10,5.
• How many groups of 5 did we have again? (teacher asks class) repeats counts backwards but puts a finger
up on hand for each number counted, 4. Now lets look at our totals board, (asking class :what does it tell as
again) yes it tells us what 5 groups of 4 have a total of 20,
• What would we do now if we know there are 20 faces all together and we wanted to know how many were
in each square ? Chooses student with hand up, yes we would use the same steps. How many groups of 4
are in 20? Lets have a look at our totals board. Students put hands up, chooses student, yes there are 5.
• So when we use our faces card and total board we can use them together to find out that 4 groups of 5 are
20, and if we have 20 faces in 4 groups, there are 5 in each.
