Multiples tables

Grace was very excited to show off her work in class today (which they do at the end of every week). This week she did multiples tables, all the way up to 100. They only officially go up to 10, but Grace just kept going and discovered that after 50 there is only one of them in 100.

It gets quite long if you keep going

As I understand it, the Multiples Tables involve counting out a number (say 5) and then circling the number each time you count 5, i.e. 5, 10, 15, etc. up to 100 would get circled. It seems that once all the multiples are circled, the groups are then circled, which I’m guessing brings out the pattern of the multiples (but I’m not too sure the exact reasons, or what this is building on, or up to).
