Teaching multiples should be fun but sometimes it’s hard work for both teacher and student. Here is a comprehensive 20 slide presentation about multiples that can introduce or consolidate the understanding about what exactly is a multiple. Children are bombarded with lots of different vocabulary and this breaks down the concept in a very simple way. Tried and tested in the classroom - with bright and colourful characters to help children move on with their learning. Might help that dreaded lesson observation go a bit smoother! Images are presented on a powerpoint but each slide can be lifted as a whole png. image and can be uploaded onto interactive whiteboard programmes such as ActivBoard or Smart board for easy annotation and children’s engagement. All fonts are locked as well as images so nothing will be lost if you transfer it to your preferred method of presentation. Enjoy!
