Often when encouraging students to learn/memorise tables we do not always look at some of the maths "hidden" in the numbers.
I can remember seeing the "Lights go on" when exploring with students various Divisibility Rules. I still use the Divisible by Four rule for working out which years are Leap Years, or when the Olympic Games are scheduled.
Three Gazinta could be the springboard for further investigations as well as a context for simple additions and division by 3. Tables with a Purpose!
