I can explain the relationship between the multiples of 2, 4 and 8

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Multiples of 8 are multiples of 2 and of 4
  2. If you double the multiples of 2 you get the multiples of 4
  3. If you double the multiples of 4 you get the multiples of 8
  4. If you double the multiples of 2 and double again you get the multiples of 8

Common misconception

Lack of fluency in 2s, 4s, or 8s times tables can mean that pupils struggle to generalise rules of and relationships within multiples of 2, 4 and 8

Take time to practically model grouping a set of objects in different ways. For example, take 24 straws and clearly show how groups of 2, 4 and 8 can be made. Discuss the relationships focusing on doubling and halving.

Keywords

  • Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.

  • Double / doubling - To double means to become twice as many or to multiply by two.

  • Halving - Halving means to divide into two equal parts.

For this lesson a hands on experience using straws or other manipulatives finding different groups from 24 will support pupils understanding of the relationship between the multiples of 2, 4 and 8, which could be extended to other multiples of 8
