Maths Unit: Diving into Division
This unit plan is a great way to introduce students to division strategies where there is no remainder, aligning with the Australian Curriculum content ACMNA076. The unit contains a presentation that walks students through the strategies, classroom display posters, a student reference card, accompanying worksheets and activities. At the completion of the unit, there is an assessment for teachers to utilise to assess student learning.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use a range of strategies to solve multiplication and division where there is no remainder.
- We are learning to use a range of strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division where there is no remainder.
- We are learning to solve practical problems involving addition and multiplication including money problems, such as budgeting, using multiple strategies.
