Why this why now

This unit develops understanding of multiplication and the skip counting pupils have done and applies it to the 2-, 5- and 10-times tables. They explore commutativity in that the factors can be written in any order and look at the relationship between adjacent multiples in preparation for looking for relationships between times tables in future units.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Count forwards and backwards in 1s to 20
  • Use concrete or pictorial representations for equal groups
  • Recognise repeated addition patterns in numbers
