Why this why now

This unit gives further opportunity for pupils to rehearse the facts for the 3- and 6-times tables whilst also exploring the relationship between the times tables. They also look at the tests of divisibility for 3 and 6 and use their knowledge of the facts along with these tests to solve problems. This secures their knowledge of the times table facts and prepares for the 9-times table and it's links with the 3-times table.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Recall multiplication facts for the 3 and 6 times tables
  • Understand the concept of doubling and its link to multiples
  • Identify patterns in number sequences and apply divisibility rules
