Lesson details
Key learning points

- For a number to be divisible by 6, it must be divisible by both 2 and 3
Keywords
Digit sum - The sum of the digits of a number is called its digit sum.
Divisible / divisibility - Divisibility is when division of a number results in another whole number. A number is divisible by another if it can be shared exactly with no remainder.

Common misconception
Lack of understanding of key terms such as: 'digit,' 'number.' Pupils may also forget how to identify an even number.
Remind children that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. Explain clearly the difference between the key terms and encourage children to test the divisibility rule on both 3 digit and 4 digit numbers.
