Multiplication is commutative. This means the order of the factors can be changed without changing the calculation or product.

A factor is a number which exactly divides another whole number.

A product is the result of two or more numbers multiplied together.

Explain that factor pairs can be written in any order

Maths

Represent the 2 times table in different ways

Use knowledge of the 2 times table to solve problems

Explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of 2

Represent counting in tens as the 10 times table

Represent the 10 times table in different ways

Explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of 10

Represent counting in fives as the 5 times table

Represent the 5 times table in different ways

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. In the future unit pupils will represent the 5s in different ways. They will explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of 5 and how 5x and 10x are related.

In the prior unit pupils represented multiples of ten using numerals and names and and used knowledge of facts and unitising to add and subtract multiples of ten. 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.
