This unit provides a break in additive thinking between units on column addition and subtraction. Pupils have the chance to review the facts for the 2-times table and explore the relationship between the 2-, 4- and 8-times tables. This unit develops multiplicative thinking and introduces the concept and language of scaling, including multiples of 10. This builds on previous work on doubling and halving and leads on to exploring links between the 3-, 6- and 9-times tables in the future.

  1. Represent counting in fours as the 4 times table
  2. Use knowledge of the 4 times table to solve problems
  3. Explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of four
  4. Explain the relationship between multiples of 2 and multiples of 4
  5. Use knowledge of the relationship between the 2 and 4 times tables to solve problems
  6. Represent counting in eights as the 8 times table
  7. Explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of eight
  8. Explain the relationship between multiples of 4 and multiples of 8
  9. Use knowledge of the relationship between the 4 and 8 times tables to solve problems
  10. Explain the relationship between the multiples of 2, 4 and 8
  11. Use knowledge of the relationship between the 2, 4 and 8 times tables to solve problems
  12. Use knowledge of the divisibility rules for divisors of 2 and 4 to solve problems
  13. Use knowledge of the divisibility rules for divisors 8 to solve problems
  14. Scale known multiplication facts by 10
  15. Scale divisions derived from multiplication facts by 10
