1.A newspaper bundle has 32 copies. Finn packs 7 bundles. Write 32 as tens and ones, then calculate 32 × 7.
2.Which calculation correctly works out 46 × 5?
  • (40 × 5) + (6 × 5) = 200 + 30 = 230
  • (40 × 5) + (6 × 5) = 200 + 11 = 211
  • (40 × 5) + (6 × 5) = 200 + 6 = 206
3.Wiremu splits 58 × 4 into (50 × 4) + (8 × 4). Complete the calculation: + = .

Calculate and check

Choose a reliable method. Use an estimate to see whether your answer is sensible.

4.Calculate 37 × 8 using vertical multiplication. Show how you regroup any tens.
5.Estimate 49 × 6 by rounding 49 to the nearest ten. Then find the exact product.
6.Rawiri calculates 26 × 4 like this: (20 × 4) + (6 × 4) = 80 + 20 = 100. Is his answer correct? Explain the error and give the correct product.
