Why this why now
This unit provides a break in additive thinking between units on column addition and subtraction. Pupils have the chance to review the facts for the 2-times table and explore the relationship between the 2-, 4- and 8-times tables. This unit develops multiplicative thinking and introduces the concept and language of scaling, including multiples of 10. This builds on previous work on doubling and halving and leads on to exploring links between the 3-, 6- and 9-times tables in the future.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Recall 2 and 4 times tables
- Use doubling strategies to derive 4 and 8 times tables
- Apply multiplication facts to word problems
