Multiply & Add Problems
Solve problems involving multiplying and adding, including using the distributive law, integer scaling problems, and harder correspondence problems
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Multiply & Add Problems means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Small counters or grid paper
- Paper and pencil
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Three rows of four counters make 12. Write 3 × 4 = 12.
Optional challenge. For Multiply & Add Problems, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Multiply & Add Problems, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Use the distributive law to solve 14 × 6 as 10 × 6 + 4 × 6
- Solve a scaling problem (e.g. 'A tower is 3 times as tall as a 15 m building')
- Solve a correspondence problem (e.g. '3 types of bread, 4 types of filling — how many different sandwiches?')
“If your child needs to work out '5 × 23', can they split it into '5 × 20 + 5 × 3 = 100 + 15 = 115' — rather than just jumping straight to a written method?”
