Keywords

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

  • Skip count - Counting in steps of equal size. For example, skip counting in twos means to count in equal steps of two.

Common misconception

Pupils may think that the 7 times table is just counting by sevens without recognising it as multiplication.

Emphasise that the 7 times table is not just counting by sevens but a series of products of 7 and whole numbers (e.g., 7 × 1, 7 × 2, etc.).

Use visual aids like number lines or arrays to show how multiplying by 7 repeatedly adds seven to the previous product. Continue to practice 7 times tables at any given opportunity.
