I can use known facts from the 2, 5 and 6 times tables to solve problems involving the 7 times table.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- If 7 is equal to 5 plus 2 then 7 groups of 6 is equal to 5 groups of 6 plus 2 groups of 6
- 7 times a number and 6 times the same number are adjacent multiples
- Arrays can represent the connections between the 2, 5, 6 and 7 times tables
Keywords
Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.
Partition - Partitioning is the act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.
Distributive law - The distributive law says that multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately.
Array - An array is the layout of items (such as objects, numbers, etc.) arranged in rows and/or columns.
Common misconception
Pupils may not realise they can use simpler multiplication facts to build up to the 7 times table or may not know their times tables facts.
You can provide multiplication charts. Continue to encourage pupils to break down problems involving 7 into smaller, known facts (e.g., 7 × 6 = 5 × 6 + 2 × 6).
