Common misconception
Pupils may find worded problems related to adjacent multiples challenging if they are not clear on the structure of finding previous and next multiples.
Model correct usage in a range of contexts including labelling abstract equations and using the term to identify the known elements in worded problems. Take time to show adjacent on number lines connecting to addition and subtraction of equal groups.
