      Explain how groups of five and ten are related

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can explain how groups of five and ten are related.

      Key learning points

      1. Five is half of ten
      2. __ groups of 5 will be half __ groups of 10
      3. Ten is double 5
      4. __ groups of 10 will be double __ groups of 5

      Keywords

      • Related - The relationship between a set of values.

      • Double - To become twice as many / to multiply by two.

      • Half - One of two equal parts of a whole. / To divide into two equal parts.

      Common misconception

      Pupils may assume that multiples of 5 and 10 are multiples of 10

      Show children the relationship between 5s and 10s using the multiplication chart and number line. Make clear that even multiples of 5 are multiples of 10 Not all multiples of 10 are multiples of 5 Encourage discussions to highlight the relationship.

      Teacher tip

      Continue to chorally rehearse 5s and 10s within and outside of this lesson. The more children can recall the more confident they will feel.
