Highlights

  • Real-world pet store multiplication problems

  • Visual scenarios support understanding and engagement

This interactive activity places learners in the role of a helper at the Pets Galore Pet Store, where they tackle a series of multiplication word problems based on everyday tasks. Each page presents a practical scenario—such as restocking shelves, feeding animals, or ordering supplies—accompanied by clear images and prompts.

Learners are guided to write and solve multiplication sentences using numbers like 3, 4, 5, and 10. Tasks include determining the total number of puppy beds, bird seed bags, hamster wheels, and more. Every problem is supported by an interactive equation question, encouraging active engagement and immediate practice.

This resource is well-suited for classroom use, small group work, or home learning. It helps students see the relevance of multiplication in daily life and builds confidence in forming and solving number sentences. Visuals and real-world contexts make each problem accessible and meaningful.

Key uses:

  • Practising multiplication facts in context
  • Reinforcing number sentence formation
  • Supporting independent or guided maths sessions
