Explain the relationship between multiples of 2 and multiples of 4

Maths

In this unit pupils will solve multiplication and division problems using knowledge of the scaling relationship between the 2x 4x 8x tables. In the future unit pupils will  represent counting in 3s as the 3x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples 3 and represent counting in sixes as the 6x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples of 6

In the prior unit pupils doubled and halved 2 digit numbers. They learned to use times table facts to find the quotient for 2x 5x 10x tables. In this unit pupils will solve multiplication and division problems using knowledge of the scaling relationships between the 2x 4x 8x tables.

2, 4 and 8 times tables: using times tables to solve problems

Which numbers are multiples of 2 and multiples of 4?

Look at the image. Match the size of the group to the number of groups.

Match the groups of 4 to the groups of 2.

If a factor is doubled, the product is halved

If a factor is doubled, the product also doubles

If a factor is halved, the product also halves

Multiples of 4 are {{ }} the multiples of 2.

Look at the array. Match the questions to the correct answers.

Which word describes numbers that are next to each other?

Which number on this number line is not a multiple of 4?

Count along the number line up to the missing number

A multiple of 4 is missing from the number line. How can we use the adjacent multiples in this example?

Izzy knows that 13 × 4 = 52. She used the known fact of 12 × 3 = 48 and {{ }} 4. 

Using your knowledge of groups, order the calculations starting with the smallest multiple.
