Represent counting in threes as the 3 times table

Maths

In this unit pupils will represent counting in 3s as the 3x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples of 3 and represent counting in 6s as the 6x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples of 6. In the future unit pupils will explain the relationship between multiples of 3 and of 6 using the relationship between the 3 and 6 times tables to solve problems.

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

Represent counting in threes and sixes as the 3 and 6 times tables

Starting with the smallest, put the multiples of 3 in order.

Which of these numbers are multiples of 3?

In each of the sequences which multiple of 3 will come next?

A tricycle has 3 wheels. Imagine 5 tricycles in a shed. How many wheels will there be altogether? {{ }} wheels

A triangle has 3 sides. Imagine 7 triangles. How many sides will there be in total? {{ }} sides

This image shows 6 tricycles , each with 3 wheels. There are 18 wheels altogether. Match the parts of the calculation to the correct keyword.

Match the addition expression to the correct answer.

When counting in eights, which of these numbers would not be part of the count?
