What we are learning

Recall the 2, 5 and 10 times tables and see them as groups.

You will need: Pencil, Counters, Hundred square (optional)

Chant the 2s to 24 while marching. Then the 10s to 100, getting quieter each time.

Table helper

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12…5, 10, 15, 20, 25…10, 20, 30, 40, 50…

Draw the groups, then write the multiplication.

Answer as many as you can in two minutes.

2 × 4 =5 × 3 =10 × 7 =2 × 9 =5 × 6 =10 × 4 =2 × 7 =5 × 8 =10 × 9 =2 × 11 =

Fill in the missing numbers.

Draw an array of dots for each fact, then write the answer.

Rows and columns of dots

2 × 5

5 × 4

10 × 3

Work each one out and write a full answer sentence.

1. Each table has 5 chairs. There are 6 tables. How many chairs?

2. A bag holds 10 apples. Kasia buys 4 bags. How many apples?

3. Milo has 7 pairs of socks. How many socks altogether?

My answers

Cover the table helper and try these from memory.

5 × 5 =2 × 8 =10 × 6 =5 × 9 =2 × 12 =10 × 10 =

What do you notice about the last digit of every answer in the 5 times table? Then at home, count something in 5s or 10s and write what it was.

The pattern I noticed

At home I counted…

How many fingers in your group? Work it out using the 5 times table, then the 10 times table. Do you get the same answer?
