- Times tables (age 7+)hardAges 7—8
Show full prerequisite tree
- Skip Counting (4s, 8s, 50s, 100s) hard
Counting in 6s/7s/9s/25s/1000s extends counting in 4s/8s/50s/100s
- Multiplication as repeated addition hard
Recalling times table facts requires understanding multiplication as repeated addition/grouping
- Addition as combining or putting together two hard
Multiplication as repeated addition requires understanding addition as combining groups
- How Many in Total? hard
Understanding addition as combining groups requires knowing numbers represent quantities (cardinality)
- One-to-one counting hard
Cardinality principle builds on one-to-one correspondence — you must count correctly to know the last number tells 'how many'
