Problem solving with Times Tables

Remember to write down all your sums to show how you get the answer for each question.

In a year two classroom, the children sit in groups of four.
How many children are there altogether if there are seven groups?
How many chairs would you need if there were only six groups?

Your parent needs to label your lunch bag, your reading bag and your P.E. bag with your name in full.
(You might find it helpful to write your name down in Capital letters.)
Work out how many letters they have to use for all three bags.
Work out how many letters they will need altogether if you had a library book bag and a swimming bag too.

In a small box of smarties there are four different coloured chocolates: red, blue, green and purple. Each box contains three red smarties, five blue smarties, four green smarties and seven purple smarties.
How many red smarties would you get from four boxes?
How many purple smarties would you get from three boxes?
How many red and blue smarties would you get from five boxes?
How many blue, green and purple coloured smarties would you get from two boxes?
How many smarties would you get altogether from eight boxes?
