Use knowledge of the divisibility rules for divisors 8 to solve problems

Maths

In this unit pupils will solve multiplication and division problems using knowledge of the scaling relationship between the 2x 4x 8x tables. In the future unit pupils will  represent counting in 3s as the 3x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples 3 and represent counting in sixes as the 6x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples of 6

In the prior unit pupils doubled and halved 2 digit numbers. They learned to use times table facts to find the quotient for 2x 5x 10x tables. In this unit pupils will solve multiplication and division problems using knowledge of the scaling relationships between the 2x 4x 8x tables.

2, 4 and 8 times tables: using times tables to solve problems

Look at the number sequence: 8, 16, 24, ___, 40, 48 . What is the missing number?

Match the numbers so that one is half of the amount of the other.

What single number fits into each of these gaps to make this correct? 16 ÷ 8 = 16 ÷ ___ ÷___ ÷___

A bakery has baked 50 cupcakes. It packs them into full boxes of 4 
Can 49 cupcakes be packed into full boxes of 4?

A bakery has baked 170 cupcakes. It packs them into boxes of 4
Can all 170 cupcakes be packed?
