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

Explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of three

Maths

In this unit pupils will represent counting in 3s as the 3x table explaining the relationship between adjacent multiples of 3 and represent 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.

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

Represent counting in threes and sixes as the 3 and 6 times tables
