The sum of the digits of a number is called its digit sum.

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.

A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.

Use the divisibility rules to find multiples of 3

Maths

Use knowledge of the 3 and 6 times tables to solve problems

Explain the relationship between multiples of three and six

Use knowledge of the relationships between the 3 and 6 times tables to solve problems

Use divisibility rules for multiples of 6

 In this unit pupils explain the relationship between multiples of 3 and of 6 and use this relationship and tests of divisibility to solve problems. In the future unit pupils will explain the relationship between multiples of 3 and multiples of 9 and use it to solve problems

In the prior unit pupils represented counting in 3s as the 3x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples of 3 and represented counting in 6s as the 6x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples of 6.  In this unit pupils explain the relationship between multiples of 3 and of 6 and use this relationship and tests of divisibility to solve problems.

In this unit pupils will explain the relationship between multiples of 3 and of 6. They will use this relationship and tests of divisibility for the 3- and 6-times tables to solve problems.
