Multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100 worksheet

The worksheet aims to enhance students' ability to count in multiples of 4, 8, 50, and 100, utilising a variety of engaging activities that require no additional resources. The first activity involves a dynamic classroom game where children stand and count aloud in the chosen multiple. The teacher determines the starting point and the sequence in which children will participate. As they take turns, each child calls out the next multiple in the sequence. Mistakes result in sitting down, and the game continues until no one is left standing. This activity can be spiced up with variations such as timing the game or introducing a 'Switch' command to reverse the counting order.

In the second activity, the counting game is modified to incorporate the concept of 'Fizz' and 'Buzz'. Here, children stand and count from 1, but instead of saying the numbers that are multiples of the chosen multiple, they say 'Fizz'. If there are two multiples involved, 'Buzz' is used for the second multiple, and 'FizzBuzz' if the number is a multiple of both. The game proceeds in the same manner as the first, with children sitting down upon making a mistake. The third activity introduces a counting stick with marked intervals. Children practice counting in multiples, both forwards and backwards, starting at zero or changing the starting number. They also get to place multiple cards or post-it notes on the counting stick to visualise the sequence. The fourth activity focuses on ordering and sequencing, where children are given multiple cards and must arrange themselves accordingly, with variations to increase the challenge, such as silent sorting or identifying missing multiples in a sequence.
