Unit Summary
In this unit pupils will explain the relationship between multiples of 3 and multiples of 9 and use it, along with the tests of divisibility for the 3-, 6- and 9-times tables, to solve problems.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to solve problems involving the 3, 6 and 9 times tables.
Key Notes
- Knowing the 3 times table can help you to solve problems
- Knowing the 6 times table can help you to solve problems
- Knowing the 9 times table can help you to solve problems
Vocabulary To Learn
- Divisible / divisibility: Divisibility is when division of a number results in another whole number. A number is divisible by another if it can be shared exactly with no remainder.
- Multiple: A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils may find it difficult to solve problems or misunderstand questions.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.
Knowing the 3 times table can help you to solve problems. Knowing the 6 times table can help you to solve problems.
2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. 'Divisible / divisibility'
Divisibility is when division of a number results in another whole number. A number is divisible by another if it can be shared exactly with no remainder. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
3. Spot and fix this common maths mistake.
Mistake: Pupils may find it difficult to solve problems or misunderstand questions. Correction: Take time to act out problems particularly the game, to ensure pupils understand where the mathematics can be seen in real-world examples. Using smaller examples can help learners understand the connections.
