Multiplication Tables, Patterns and Square Numbers

We can use models to find square numbers

Square numbers are made by multiplying a number by itself

To find 3 x 3, draw a square with 3 rows of squares and 3 squares in each row and count the total number of squares. Total number of squares = 9

Similarly, we can draw other squares using 2, 4, 5, and other numbers

We can use the Multiplication Table to multiply any two numbers. To find 7 x 8, look at where the 7 row and the 8 column meet in the table. They meet at 56; 7 x 8 = 56

Composite numbers are all the non-prime numbers except 0 and 1. For example: 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10

Prime numbers are the numbers whose only factors are themselves and 1. For example: 2, 3, 5, and 7

All the numbers in the 2, 4, and 8 columns in the table are even
