Outcomes
MA1-FG-01 uses the structure of equal groups to solve multiplication problems, and shares or groups to solve division problemsContent dot points
Each dot point has its own page with resources matched to it.
Count in multiples using rhythmic and skip counting
Use skip counting patterns
- Identify and describe patterns when skip counting forwards or backwards by twos, fives and tens
- Determine a missing number in a number pattern with a constant difference
- Describe how the missing number in a number pattern was determined (Reasons about relations)
Model and use equal groups of objects to represent multiplication
- Model and describe collections of objects as groups of
- Determine and distinguish between the number of groups and the number in each group when describing collections of objects (Reasons about relations)
- Find the total number of objects using skip counting of equal groups of a known size
Recognise and represent division
- Use concrete materials to model a half of a collection and show the relation between the half and the whole
- Model sharing division by distributing a collection of objects equally into a given number of groups to determine how many in each group
- Model grouping division by determining the number of groups of a given size that can be formed
- Describe the part left over when a collection cannot be distributed equally using the given group size
