Key learning points
- In this lesson, we will begin by introducing the context of synchronized swimmers arranged in groups within squads to multiply three numbers in different arrangements. They use different factor pairs to solve the same problem in different ways. We will also look at distributive law can be represented using area models.

Q5.
Look at the calculation carefully. There is an error but the pupils can't decide where! Which pupil is right?
Abdul thinks the person has multiplied by 3 incorrectly.
Lucy believes the regrouping has been incorrect on two occasions.
