Pupils may think that the 7 times table is just counting by sevens without recognising it as multiplication.

Emphasise that the 7 times table is not just counting by sevens but a series of products of 7 and whole numbers (e.g., 7 × 1, 7 × 2, etc.).

Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.
Skip count - Counting in steps of equal size. For example, skip counting in twos means to count in equal steps of two.
