In this Year 6 Common Multiples lesson, children identify common multiples.
The Year 4 Represent Numbers to 1,000 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.
product: The answer of multiplying two or more numbers together. For example: 30 is the product of 6 x 5.
factors: Numbers we can multiply together to get another number. For example: 2 and 3 are factors of 6 because 2 x 3 = 6.
common multiples: When two or more numbers share the same multiple.
systematically: Working in an organised way.
Varied Fluency
Knowledge Organiser
• Designed to support all children via key information and examples.
Scaffolded Examples
• Guided practice in listing multiples to find common multiples with sentence stems, and sorting common multiples into a Venn diagram.
Support
• Q1: Find the first two common multiples of a pair. One list given.
• Q2: Sort numbers into a multiples diagram. Hint given.
• Q3: A word problem in two parts, listing the multiples of each pack size first.
Core
• Q1: Find the first two common multiples of a pair of numbers.
• Q2: Sort numbers into a multiples diagram.
• Q3: A word problem finding when two repeating events next happen together.
Stretch
• Q1: Find the first two common multiples of a set of three numbers.
• Q2: Sort numbers into a diagram, then adding a number of their own to each part.
• Q3: A word problem with three repeating events.
Reasoning and Problem Solving
Support
• Q1: Reasoning – explain whether a statement about common multiples of two numbers is correct. List of one number’s multiples given.
• Q2: Reasoning – decide whether multiples have been sorted correctly into a table. One multiple already checked.
• Q3: Problem Solving - find a common multiple of two numbers with a condition given. First common multiple given.
Core
• Q1: Reasoning – explain whether a statement about common multiples of two numbers is correct.
• Q2: Reasoning – decide whether multiples have been sorted correctly into a table.
• Q3: Problem Solving - find a common multiple of two numbers with a condition given.
Stretch
• Q1: Reasoning – explain whether a statement about common multiples of three numbers is correct.
• Q2: Reasoning – decide whether multiples have been sorted correctly into a table. Add one more multiple.
• Q3: Problem Solving - find a common multiple of two numbers with two conditions given.
Deeper Reasoning
The questions in this set focus on problem solving with multiples and common multiples in different contexts to deepen understanding in identifying common multiples.
