Hi Epsom Community, 

Your children have been hard at work developing their understanding of multiplicative thinking, looking at a range of ways to visually show multiplication and division as well as develop strategies to help them do this efficiently.

The self descriptive number

I have a ten digit number. The first digit tells me how many zeros are in the number. The second digit tells me how many ones are in the number. The third digit tells me how many twos are in the number, and so on until the tenth digit, which tells me how many nines are in the number. What is my number?
