      Represent counting in nines as the 9 times table

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can represent counting in nines as the 9 times table.

      Key learning points

      1. Counting in nines is the pattern of the 9 times table
      2. Counting in nines can be represented in different ways
      3. Counting in nines can help you to solve problems

      Keywords

      • Factor - Numbers we can multiply together to get another number are known as factors.

      • Product - The answer when two or more values are multiplied together.

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

      Common misconception

      Pupils often confuse the keywords of this lesson and use them interchangeably or incorrectly.

      Model correct usage in a range of contexts including labelling abstract equations and using the terms to identify the known elements in worded problems. Choral response can also support pupils using these words correctly.

      Teacher tip

      The focus of this lesson is recognition of multiples of nines and connecting this to tables facts. Use every opportunity to rehearse and chant multiplication facts including skip counting and chanting multiplication tables to support fluency.
