Multiples of a Number

In this lesson, learners will build on their knowledge of multiples as the result of multiplying a number by a positive integer. They will now proceed to find sets of multiples of given numbers and make generalisations about them. This allows children to begin to understand and use rules of divisibility, which will be built upon in later learning.
