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

In this unit pupils will represent counting in nines as the 9x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples of 9 They will use known facts from the 10x table to solve problems involving the 9x table  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 the future unit pupils will explain the relationship between multiples of 3 and of 6 using the relationship between the 3 and 6 times tables to solve problems.

Relationship between the 3 and 6 times tables and tests of divisibility
