This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
In this unit pupils will represent the 2x 10x table in different ways and use 2x 10x table to solve problems. They will explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of 2/10 and that factor pairs can be written in any order.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to represent the 10 times table in different ways.
Key Notes
- The 10 times table can be represented in different ways with groups of 10
- The 10 times table can be recorded as skip counting in 10 on a number line.
- The number of counts is one of the factors and the skip size of 10 is the other factor.
- The 10 times table can be represented using multiplication equations.
Vocabulary To Learn
- Skip count: Counting in steps of equal size. For example, skip counting in twos means to count in equal steps of two.
- Factor: A factor is a number which exactly divides another whole number.
- Product: A product is the result of two or more numbers multiplied together.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Children may struggle to count in multiples of 10s and recognise this as groups of 10
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.
The 10 times table can be represented in different ways with groups of 10. The 10 times table can be recorded as skip counting in 10 on a number line.
2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. 'Skip count'
Counting in steps of equal size. For example, skip counting in twos means to count in equal steps of two. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
3. Spot and fix this common maths mistake.
Mistake: Children may struggle to count in multiples of 10s and recognise this as groups of 10. Correction: Use of concrete resources: 10 frame and 10 p coins can support children to practise skip counting in 10s. Then move onto counting in 10s on a number line.
