THE MAGICALLY MULTIPLYING TUCK SHOP (2009 MATHS BOOSTER) This is the latest annual revision resource designed by BGfL to boost Key Stage 2 learners’ expertise in the multiplication of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers – one of the identified barriers to achievement of Maths Level 4 in previous years’ SATs tests. The Magically Multiplying Tuck Shop is an interactive learning activity which offers an engaging, if eerie, alternative to more mundane worksheet-based approaches, in which a Zombie Shopkeeper runs a Magic Tuck Shop inside a Haunted Forest for learners visiting the School Booster. 5 Stages: Learners develop their multiplying skills as part of problem-solving skills: - Try a Brain-warmer!
- Picture it!
- Estimate it!
- Calculate it!
- Check it!
