Introduction to Multiplication - Presentation

This detailed and comprehensive presentation provides plenty of visuals and examples of early multiplication concepts. The presentation begins by taking students through the ways in which multiplication can be represented. It then looks at how to solve multiplication problems using a variety of calculation strategies. This resource is part of a Year 2 Unit of Work- Introduction to Multiplication.

Learning goals

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

VCMNA107 Solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of efficient mental and written strategies VCMNA087 Recognise, model, read, write and order numbers to at least 100. Locate these numbers on a number line VCMNA091 Recognise and describe one-half as one of two equal parts of a whole VCMNA103 Investigate number sequences, initially those increasing and decreasing by twos, threes, fives and ten from any starting point, then moving to other sequences VCMNA111 Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value VCMNA114 Apply repetition in arithmetic operations, including multiplication as repeated addition and division as repeated subtraction VCMNA108 Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays VCMNA109 Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations
