MA1-6NA
Uses a range of mental strategies and concrete materials for multiplication and division
Outcomes
-
Multiplication and Division 1
- Model and use equal groups of objects as a strategy for multiplication
-
Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal sets (ACMNA032)
-
Recognise when there are equal numbers of items in groups, eg 'There are three pencils in each group'
Examples
-
Model division by sharing a collection of objects equally into a given number of groups to determine how many in each group, eg determine the number in each group when 10 objects are shared between two people
Examples
-
Recognise when there are equal numbers of items in groups, eg 'There are three pencils in each group'
-
Multiplication and Division 2
-
Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays (ACMNA031)
-
Model multiplication as repeated addition, eg 3 groups of 4 is the same as 4 + 4 + 4
Examples
-
Recognise when items have been arranged into groups, eg 'I can see two groups of three pencils'
Examples
-
Use concrete materials to model multiplication as equal 'groups' and by forming an array of equal 'rows' or equal 'columns'
Examples
-
Model the commutative property of multiplication, eg '3 groups of 2 is the same as 2 groups of 3'
Examples
-
Model multiplication as repeated addition, eg 3 groups of 4 is the same as 4 + 4 + 4
- Represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations (ACMNA032)

Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays (ACMNA031)
