Lesson details
Key learning points
- If you can halve a multiple of 4 then it is a multiple of 8 and divisible by 8
- All numbers divisible by 8 are also divisible by 4 and 2
- Multiples of 8 are all multiples of both 2 and 4
Keywords
Halve - A half is one of two equal parts of a whole.
Divisible - Divisibility is when division of a number results in another whole number.
Common misconception
Lack of fluency in 4s and or 8s times tables and understanding when tackling word problems.
Clearly model highlighting key words of worded problems to understand the problem and the operation required for the calculation. Continue to use language stems such as 'If I know...' 'Then I know...,' to support mathematical thinking.
