Learning goals
- We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
- We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays and to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups.
- We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
- We are learning to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups to solve simple problems.
Curriculum alignment

9
Recall and demonstrate proficiency with multiplication facts for twos; extend and apply facts to develop the related division facts using doubling and halving
AC9M2N05
9
Multiply and divide by one-digit numbers using repeated addition, equal grouping, arrays, and partitioning to support a variety of calculation strategies
