multiples.
DfE Ready-to-Progress Criteria:
I can identify common multiples.
Find factors and multiples of positive whole
numbers, including common factors and Key/New Words: Preparation:
common multiples (5MD-2). Multiple, common multiple, product, pattern, Differentiated Multiples Activity Sheets –

Prior Learning: It will be helpful if children are familiar with times table facts up to 12 × 12.
Learning Sequence
Remember It: Using the corresponding slide on the Lesson Presentation, the children complete the three
activities on the screen. Children will identify numbers in the chosen multiplication tables from a range of
numbers as well as complete a missing number task in a section of a hundred square. Children can use mini
whiteboards to assist them along with partner talk if necessary. Can the children identify numbers in the times
tables?
What Is a Multiple? Use the corresponding slide of the Lesson Presentation to generate a class discussion
on what a multiple is or could be. Use the prompts to help children identify the multiples. Using the next slide,
encourage the children to think about the rules of how to find a multiple of two, three, four and five. Encourage
the children to see if they can identify any more multiples using the rules. You may wish to use the challenge
on this slide to extend the learning. Can the children explain what a multiple is? Can they identify and use the
rule to find multiples?
Practice Time: Using the corresponding slide of the Lesson Presentation, share the true and false statements
and support the children in discussing with a partner whether the statements are correct. Children should use
the rules and knowledge learned in the previous section to help justify their answers. The children can work
individually or in pairs to sort the correct multiples into the table. Following this activity, extend the learning to
identify common multiples using the prompt given. Can the children identify multiples? Can children identify
common multiples?
Multiples: Using the differentiated Multiples Activity Sheets, the children complete the tasks using rules to
identify the multiples of numbers.

Diving into Mastery: Schools using a mastery approach may prefer to use the following as an alternative
activity. These sheets might not necessarily be used in a linear way. Some children might begin at the ‘Deeper’
section and in fact, others may ‘dive straight in’ to the ‘Deepest’ section if they have already mastered the skill
and are applying this to show their depth of understanding.
Children complete fluency questions related to multiples.
Children answer reasoning questions related to multiples and common multiples. They explain
their reasoning.
Children work individually or collaboratively on problem-solving questions related to multiples and
common multiples.
More Rules: Using the corresponding slide of the Lesson Presentation, guide the children through the rules
of finding multiples of 6, 7, 8 and 9. Some of the children may be familiar with these rules from the Multiples
Activity Sheets. Encourage children to work in pairs to generate random three-digit numbers and identify if
they are a multiple of a number on the screen by using the rules. Can the children use rules to find multiples?
Exploreit
Testit: Children test out the rules from the lesson with larger numbers (such as four, five or six-digit numbers) to investigate if the rules
still work. This could be added to a working wall or used as part of a display.
Learnit: Children will find this visually exciting Knowledge Organiser a useful tool to support their understanding of multiplication and
division.
