Today I can see that counting in sevens is the same as the 7 times table.

A Look back3 min

    4 × 10 =

B Watch me, then you4 min

Four bags hold 7 apples each. How many apples are there altogether?

Watch me

There are 4 groups of 7 apples.

Skip count in sevens: 7, 14, 21, 28.

So 4 × 7 = 28, and there are 28 apples.

Now you

    Five bags hold 7 apples each. 5 × 7 =

    8 bags of 7 apples. 7 × 8 =

Say it out loud: Each row has 2 more bags than the row before. What happens to the answer each time?

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. 40

2. 25

3. 16

B

1. 35 If your child writes 12, they added 5 and 7. Ask how many groups of 7 there are, then skip count.

C

1. 14

2. 28 If your child writes 24, they may have multiplied 4 by 6. Each bag holds 7, so count 7 for each group.

3. 42 If your child writes 36, they multiplied 6 by 6. Skip count in sevens: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42.

4. 56 If your child writes 49, they multiplied 7 by 7. There are 8 groups of 7, not 7 groups.

D

1. 21 If your child writes 14, they counted only two sevens, 7 and 14. Tap each group of 7 as you say the number.

E

1. 35, 42, 49, 56

Words to use

Say“Count the groups first, then say the sevens out loud.”
Instead of“Just tell them the answer so they can move on.”

After the sheet

Lay out 3 rows of 7 socks or buttons, then skip count the sevens aloud together.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
