Lesson details
Key learning points
- Five is half of ten
- Multiples of 5 are half the value of multiples of 10
- Ten is double 5
- Multiples of 10 are double the value of multiples of 5
Keywords
Related - The relationship between a set of values.
Double - To become twice as many / to multiply by two.

Common misconception
Pupils may assume that all multiples of 5 are multiples of 10
Show children the relationship between 5s and 10s using the multiplication chart and number line. Make clear the relationship between the multiples of 5 and 10 through using stem sentences; for every one group of ten, there are two groups of 5
Continue to chorally rehearse 5 and 10 times tables. Pupils should become increasingly more fluent.
