What's on this sheet

The “no” questions are near misses: a real multiple nudged off by one or two, so a number can feel familiar and still fail. That is what keeps a page of yes-or-no questions from turning into guessing, because a child has to divide or use a known fact to be sure.

Why this sheet works

Each question is short, and that makes this a good warm-up or a quick check of whether the idea has landed. Because the answer is one of two words, the skill also works on the practice page, marked as you go, and the printed sheet comes with an answer key.

How this one works

Is 35 a multiple of 7?

35?
35 ÷ 7 =5
yes
  1. Multiples of 7 are what you get counting in 7s — they start at 7 and keep getting bigger. (Factors are the other way: they go into 7.)
  2. 35 ÷ 7 = 5 exactly — nothing left over. Counting in 7s lands on it, so yes.
