Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. If you double the multiples of 2 you get the multiples of 4
  2. If you double the multiples of 4 you get the multiples of 8
  3. If you double the multiples of 2 and double again you get the multiples of 8

Common misconception

Pupils may misunderstand the contexts or language within worded problems and therefore not understand the calculation required to solve.

Model clearly how to identify key phrases and words which will identify the operation and equation required for word problems. Pupils may benefit from representing what is known and what is unknown such as by drawing a bar model.

Keywords

  • Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.

  • Double / doubling - To double means to become twice as many or to multiply by two.

  • Halving - Halving means to divide into two equal parts.

In this lesson, children use octopuses as a reference to count in groups of 8. The correct anatomy of an octopus is that it has 2 hands and 6 legs, for the purpose of this lesson you may want to address this with the pupils so that they are familiar, or introduce the additional word tentacles.
