Multiples of 3
Recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12.
Recognise and use factor pairs and commutativity in mental calculations.
Watch for:
Children may think that any number with 3 ones is a multiple of 3.
An early mistake when counting in 3s will affect all subsequent multiples.
Children may always begin counting from 3 to find a larger multiple of 3, when they could use the multiples they already know to find the new information.
