So after 30 we have 33 (which maps onto 3), 36 (which maps onto 6), 39 (which maps onto 9) and 42 (which maps onto 12) and so on. Students can see there are patterns created on the grid by colouring the squares belonging to every 3rd number (for the 3 times table), every 4th number (for the 4 times table), and every 5th number (for the 5 times table).įor the 3 times table, notice that the pattern repeats itself after the number produced in the units column, by the repeating increment, returns to 0 (it does this at 30). That is why presenting multiplication tables in the following forms may be useful in the initial understanding and presentation of what is actually being learnt.īelow are the two, three, four and five times tables (2 times table, 3 times table, 4 times table, 5 times table): Getting the little one to write the numbers on the masking tape was a particular popular part of the activity. You could use a different colour block for odd numbers and even numbers. Then you can “count in twos”, “count in threes”, “count in fours”, “count in fives” etc.

Stick numbers onto lego blocks with masking tape. Once this is all clear and practiced, repeatedly adding on (say) 6 is no longer difficult. Practice which pairs cross the tens boundary and which don’t. 17 and 7+6 can quickly be turned into 10+3, ie. Once these number pairs are known, 9+8 can quickly be turned into 10+7, ie. Why? Because adding by counting on is really slow. pairs of whole numbers that can be used to make any given number from ten down to two. (2) Use numicon to discover and learn all the “number bonds” ie. Get clear how many 10s and units in any given number Similarly, subtraction is going up rows, and back columns. To add on tens, go down rows (one row for each ten you are adding). Use a number grid that starts at 0 (zero) up to 50 or so that wraps the next row every time the units digit gets back to zero. (1) Understand the concept of tens and units.
