Multiplication and Division 2
Outcomes
-
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)
