Lesson details
Key learning points
- If 4 times 5 is 20 then 4 times 6 is four more than 20
- If you know 5 times a number you can add the number again to work out 6 times the number
- 5 times a number and 6 times a number are adjacent multiples
Keywords
Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.
Common misconception
Lack of fluency in 6 times tables and not understanding the divisibility rules or the problems.
To clearly model highlighting key words of worded problems to understand the problem and the operation required for the calculation. Continue to use language stems such as 'If I know...' 'Then I know...,' to support mathematical thinking.
By this lesson, pupils should be fluent in the 5s and 6s and the divisibility rules for both. Continue to use language which reflects the relational pattern between 5s and 6s e.g. 'If I know that 5 × 6 = 30 then I know that 6 × 6 is 36 because you add one more group of 6'
