A multiple of a number is any number that is in its times-table.

A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by a positive integer. Children find sets of multiples of given numbers. Children understand and use rules of divisibility, which will be built upon in later learning.

Ask, “How do you find the multiples of a number?”

“What do you notice about the multiples of?”

“What is the same and what is different about them?”

“Can a number be a multiple of more than one number?”
