Multiplicative Reasoning

Lesson videos on representations in terms of the bar model and double number line are used to support reasoning and problem solving

Multiplicative reasoning is central to the KS3 curriculum, but needs to begin at Primary. Representations in terms of the bar model and double number line are used to support reasoning and problem solving, which will in turn support problem solving.

You may find it useful to download the videos to your own device. Also, there are accompanying PowerPoint files for each video at the bottom of this page. If you encounter any problems, please contact us.
