In this activity, we will be learning about finding the first ten multiples of a number.
A multiple is the product we get when we multiply a number.
So, some multiples of 5 would be 5, 10, 15, 20...
It's important to remember that when we multiply a number by 1, it stays the same.
So, multiples are not always larger than the number itself.
We can find the first ten multiples of a number by skip counting or using times tables facts.
Let's try an example together.
Example
Write the first 10 multiples of 6.
Answer
The first multiple of 10 is 1 × 3 =3
The second multiple of 10 is 2 × 3 = 6
....just like your times tables
The first ten multiples of 6 are as follows:
1. 6
2. 12
3. 18
4. 24
5. 30
6. 36
7. 42
8. 48
9. 54
10. 60
So, if you know your times tables, you know your multiples!!
