The Year 3 Multiples of 2 PowerPoint guides both teachers and children through the lesson, including use of the varied fluency, reasoning and problem solving, deeper reasoning and scaffolded resources. Key learning information about this step:
Key Vocabulary
multiple: A product of one number multiplied by another number. For example: multiples of 10 are the products of numbers multiplied by 10.
sequence: A series of numbers or images that follow a set pattern. For example: numbers may increase by 2 each time.
even numbers: Numbers that can be divided exactly by 2. The digit in the ones column is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. For example: 2, 24 and 108 are all even numbers.
odd numbers: Numbers that cannot be divided exactly by 2. The digit in the ones column is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. For example: 5, 31 and 103 are all odd numbers.
Varied Fluency
Knowledge Organiser
• Designed to support all children via key information and examples.
Scaffolded Examples
• Using the ones digit to decide whether a number is a multiple of 2; circling multiples of 2.
Support
• Q1: Circle multiples of 2 in a mix of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers; the rule is given.
• Q2: Complete sentences and a number line; every other number is given.
• Q3: Sort four numbers into odd and even; the rule is given.
Core
• Q1: Circle multiples of 2 in a mix of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers.
• Q2: Complete sentences and a number line; five numbers are given.
• Q3: Sort six numbers into odd and even.
Stretch
• Q1: Circle numbers that must be multiples of 2; some have a missing digit.
• Q2: Complete sentences and a number line crossing a multiple of 100; three numbers are given.
• Q3: Sort numbers into odd, even or can’t tell; some have a missing digit.
Reasoning and Problem Solving
Support
• Q1: Reasoning – explain whether a character has sorted 3-digit numbers correctly; digits all odd or all even.
• Q2: Reasoning – decide if a character is correct; digits all odd or all even.
• Q3: Problem Solving – choose two cards with a total that is or is not a multiple of 2; rule given.
Core
• Q1: Reasoning – explain whether a character has sorted 3-digit numbers correctly; mix of odd and even digits within a number.
• Q2: Reasoning – decide if a character is correct; mix of odd and even digits within a number.
• Q3: Problem Solving – choose two cards with a total that is or is not a multiple of 2; no rule given.
Stretch
• Q1: Reasoning – explain whether a character has sorted numbers with a missing digit correctly.
• Q2: Reasoning – decide if a character is correct; numbers with missing digits.
• Q3: Problem Solving – choose three cards with a total that is or is not a multiple of 2.
Deeper Reasoning
The question in this set focuses on using the digit cards to make the comparison statement correct to deepen understanding in counting in steps of 2 from 0, and from any number, forward or backward, and recalling and using multiplication and division facts for the 2 times table, including recognising odd and even numbers.
