Explain the relationship between multiples of 2 and multiples of 4
I can explain the relationship between multiples of 2 and multiples of 4
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Multiples of 4 are double the multiples of 2
- Multiples of 2 are half the multiples of 4
- Multiples of 4 are all multiples of 2 but not all multiples of 2 are multiples of 4
Common misconception
Pupils may generalise the rule and assume that when dividing by 4 is the last digit is even, then the number is divisible by 4
Show children the relationship between 2s and 4s using the multiplication chart. Make clear that identifying the last digit as even is the first step - the last 2 digits should be a multiple of 4. Encourage discussions to highlight the relationship.
