Find the First 10 Multiples of a Number

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!!
