Multiplication and division resources for maths teachers

Multiplication and division are key elements of maths teaching, but it can be tough to ensure that lessons remain fresh. From helping pupils to master the basics to introducing tougher concepts, maths teachers have a wealth of useful resources at their disposal to keep lessons fun and engaging.

Regardless of whether pupils are in primary or secondary education, games, quizzes and worksheets can all help to focus minds and boost knowledge. 

Here we have a host of multiplication and division resources that a maths teacher may want to use to give an edge to their lesson planning.
