Lesson Details
Key learning points
- When zero is a factor, the product is zero.
- Zero can represent the group size or the number of groups in a multiplication context.
- In a division, zero can be the dividend but not the divisor.
Common misconception
Many pupils will come into the lesson believing that the value of 3 ÷ 0 is 0
Make sure that you use other examples of related multiplication and division equations to show how they can help to disprove the idea that the divisor can be used as zero. Keep them clearly displayed on the learning wall.
