Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Counting in sevens is the pattern of the 7 times table.
  2. Counting in sevens can be represented in different ways.
  3. Counting in sevens can help you to solve problems.

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.).

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.

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.
