Multiplication methods as demonstrated by the children of Ashfield Park Primary School.

Yesterday I spent a day at Ashfield Park Primary School in Ross on Wye working with 4 pupils of different ages. Together we filmed 4 methods of multiplication that are used as a standard across the school. The purpose of the films were to enable parents at home to see directly how their children were taught in school. When it comes to homework time we should aim to achieve the same approach that the children acheive at school. If the feedback of the multiplication project is good we will look to extend to covering division, addition and subtraction and even some literacy topics.

I am delighted the school has embraced technology to improve communication with parents and the wider communty and it certainly seems to be having a good effect.
