      Use knowledge of divisibility rules when the divisor is 10 to solve problems

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can use knowledge of divisibility rules when the divisor is 10 to solve problems.

      Key learning points

      1. All numbers in the 10 times table have a ones digit of 0
      2. All numbers in the 10 times table are divisible by 10

      Keywords

      • Divisible - When a number can be divided into equal parts without any left over, we can say that it is divisible by ___

      Common misconception

      Children may not see 2-digit numbers as divisible by 10 if they are not in their 10 times tables.

      Encourage children to apply the knowledge that a number is divisible by 10 when it has a ones digit of 0 Examples showing this idea can be explored and displayed to reference within the lesson.

      Teacher tip

      Within this lesson, encourage children to identify numbers that are divisible by numbers previously covered, referring to the divisibility rules and why this is the case. This may help them to identify numbers that are not divisible by 10, which is as important as identifying those that are.
