Explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of six
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of six
Key learning points
- Adjacent multiples of 6 have a difference of 6
- If you add 6 to a multiple of 6 you get the next multiple of 6
- If you subtract 6 from a multiple of 6 you get the previous multiple of 6
Keywords
