#Lesson1Multiplesof8
The first lesson in this series starts by asking your class to count in multiples of eight, using a hundred square on the slides to support them. They will then find out what the word ‘multiple’ means and identify the multiples of eight before exploring the link between multiples of four and multiples of eight. The independent learning activities are packed full of fun activities and games that will help them become more familiar with the eight times table. There is also a matching game for the other times tables too!
What's included:
- Lesson plan
- Slides
- Activity ideas
- Number fact cards
- Colour by number sheet
- Game board sheet
- Times tables memory game sheet
#Lesson2InvestigatingMultiples
Now that your class understand what a multiple is, they will start to think about different numbers that can be multiplied together to produce a particular multiple. They will learn how to create many different multiplication statement using factor pairs, reinforcing their understanding of the three, four and eight times tables. There is also the opportunity to undertake some 'sometimes, always or never' investigations into multiples of three, four and eight.
What's included:
- Lesson plan
- Slides
- Activity ideas
- Differentiated worksheets
- Multiplication grid
- Hundred square strips
- ‘Sometimes, Always or Never’ cards
#Lesson3DivisionFacts
This lesson recaps the relationship between multiplication and division, and teaches your children to identify two different division facts from a given multiplication fact. They can then practise their recall of both multiplication and division facts through a fun ‘snakes and ladders’ game, or racing their partner to a finishing line by completing division facts as quickly as they can!
What's included:
- Lesson plan
- Slides
- Activity ideas
- Game board sheets
- Division race cards
- Multiplication grids
#Lesson4RapidRecall
The focus of this lesson is on the rapid recall of multiplication facts for known times tables. There are games and activities that will give children plenty of opportunities to practise their times tables in a fun and engaging way, as well as using times tables to derive associated facts. Throughout the lesson, they will be able to identify those times tables they are confident with, as well as those that may need a little more attention.
What's included:
- Lesson plan
- Slides
- Activity ideas
- Differentiated worksheets
- Blank bingo grids
