I used these worksheets with Year 2 and Year 3 classes, to help pupils learn patterns in certain times tables as well as identifying commonalities between certain times tables. They also proved useful when first learning certain times tables. Depending on the pupil’s understanding, I encouraged them to work individually, with a partner or in a guided group to complete these.
The sheets are;

1. adding and tables - a sheet that helps to clarify the link between cumulative addition and times tables.
2. Count in Steps of 3 and 5 – these two sheets help pupils to identify and compare multiples of the 3 and 5 times tables respectively.
3. Count in steps of 4 – this sheet helps pupils to identify and compare multiples of the 4 times table.
4. Count in steps of 6 – this sheet helps pupils to identify and compare multiples of the 4 times table.
5. Comparing patterns grid – this allows pupils to directly compare the patterns of any three times tables and establish common multiples. In this range of sheets, it can be used to establish the multiples of the 7, 8 and 9 times tables.
6. Pattern when counting grid – this sheet was an easy way to establish purely the pattern of multiples for any times table up to 40. This could be used as an introduction activity or as differentiation with lower ability pupils.
