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 2 times table in different ways.
Key Notes
- The 2 times table can be represented in different ways with groups of 2
- The two times table can be recorded as skip counting in 2 on a number line.
- The number of counts is one of the factors and the skip size of 2 is the other factor.
- The 2 times table can be represented using multiplication equations.
Vocabulary To Learn
- 2 times table: A set of multiplication facts where the product is a multiple of 2
- Skip count: Counting in steps of equal size. For example, skip counting in twos means to count in equal steps of two.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Children may struggle to count in multiples of 2 and want to count in steps of 1
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.
The 2 times table can be represented in different ways with groups of 2. The two times table can be recorded as skip counting in 2 on a number line.
2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. '2 times table'
A set of multiplication facts where the product is a multiple of 2. 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 2 and want to count in steps of 1. Correction: Use of concrete resources: counters can support children to practise skip counting in 2s.
