We have looked closely at multiplying and dividing numbers the last two weeks. When doing this, we noticed something about some numbers never appear as answers for any of the times tables. This led us on a bit of a discovery about which numbers were different answers for different times tables and which numbers never appear at all!

“18 is an answer of the 2, 3, 6 and 9 times tables. It is also in the 18 and the 1 times table!” – Safia

“13 isn’t an answer in any of the times tables! We have learnt that this is called a Prime Number.” – Lillia
