Vocabulary To Learn
- Multiple: A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer (not by a fraction).
- Gridlines: A gridline is a horizontal or vertical line that helps organise data on a graph or chart.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils struggle to identify how many intervals there are on the y-axis of graphs or are less familiar with graphs and so find it more challenging.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.
10,000 is composed of two 5,000s. 10,000 is composed of 4 2,500s.
2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. 'Multiple'
A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer (not by a fraction). Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
3. Spot and fix this common maths mistake.
Mistake: Pupils struggle to identify how many intervals there are on the y-axis of graphs or are less familiar with graphs and so find it more challenging. Correction: Encourage pupils to focus on the gaps between each gridline as opposed to the number of gridlines there are themselves. You could generalise that there is always one fewer gridline than the number of gaps.
