Multiplication Table patterns on number lines

 Patterns are formed by drawing lines linking the product, on the top number line, with the multiplicand, on the bottom number line. The  example table of 4’s shows lines drawn from 1 to 4, 2 to 8, 3 to 12,  4 to 16 …….10 to 40.  The table of 5’s would be shown by drawing lines from 1 to 5, 2 to 10, 3 to 15  and so  on until you reach draw from 10(bottom number line) to 50 (top number line). If the multiplication tables are drawn accurately all the lines cross at one point.

Examples are shown on the next  page.  The idea of drawing the table of 4.5’s came from a group of Y4 children.

This document provides 3 sets of number lines including a blank one for children to mark.

Children can draw the patterns using Word and the draw toolbar.
