Fascinating Fact:

Multiples of 8 appear when thinking about octopuses, which have 8 legs each, so 3 octopuses have 24 legs.

In KS2 Maths, Year 3 pupils begin to explore multiples. Recognising multiples helps with understanding times tables, finding patterns, and solving problems involving groups of numbers.

  • Multiple: A number that results from multiplying another number, like 20 being a multiple of 5.
  • Factor: A number that divides exactly into another, such as 3 being a factor of 12.
  • Times Table: A list of multiples of a number, useful for quick recall in calculations.
What are multiples in Year 3 Maths?

Multiples are numbers made by multiplying another number. For example, the multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on.

Why are multiples important to learn?

Multiples are important because they help pupils with times tables, division, and spotting patterns in maths, which supports problem-solving.

How can I practise multiples at home?

Pupils can practise multiples by chanting times tables, grouping objects, or using games and songs to spot number patterns quickly.

1 .

2
5
10
15
2 x 5 = 10.
20, 30 and all other multiples of 10 are also multiples of 2 and 5
8 .
What does a multiple of 100 always end in?
00
2
5
11
Similarly, multiples of 10 (20, 30, 40 etc.) always end in 0
9 .
Which is the smallest multiple of 100?
50
100
200
300
Every number is a multiple of itself as it is itself multiplied by 1
10 .
A multiple of 5 always ends in?
0 or 2
0
0 or 00
