1 approach
Modelling with multiplication and fractions means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: Paper strips or a folded circle; Pencil and labels (1/2, 1/4). Adult folds a strip into halves and labels 1/2. Child makes three fair shares (halves/quarters) and names each piece. Done: three correctly named equal parts. Stop after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding
- Model a tiling/area problem with an array and write the corresponding multiplication
- Represent a recipe-scaling problem as a fraction calculation and interpret the answer in grams
- Use a bar model to set up a unit conversion problem (metres to centimetres)
“When your child is solving a real-life problem — like working out the area of a room in square metres — do they choose the right maths tool for the job and interpret the final number in terms of the real situation?”
