Administer an activity that fosters a child's understanding of multiples. Young mathematicians are guided to complete three tasks on a multiplication chart. Once they color the boxes with multiples of two, three, and four, learners recognize and describe the patterns they notice. This is a great way to introduce prime and composite numbers in order to reinforce and recognize patterns. A solution sheet provided in the activity shows how the patterns are displayed by coloring the boxes of each multiples.
