Division
Content Strand: Number and Algebra Sub-strand: Number and Place Value: Multiplication
and Division
AusVELS Curriculum
Foundation Represent practical situations to model sharing

Level 2 Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays
Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations
Level 3 Recall multiplication facts of two, three, five and ten and related division facts
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication using efficient mental and written strategies and appropriate digital
technologies
Level 4 Recall multiplication facts up to 10 10 and related division facts
Develop efficient mental and written strategies and use appropriate digital technologies for multiplication and for division
where there is no remainder
Level 5 Identify and describe factors and multiples of whole numbers and use them to solve problems
Use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers to calculations
Solve problems involving multiplication of large numbers by one or two digit numbers using efficient mental, written strategies
and appropriate digital technologies
Solve problems involving division by a one digit number, including those that result in a remainder
Use efficient mental and written strategies and apply appropriate digital technologies to solve problems

Criteria
Explicit Teaching Task Reflection
1 Telling the time. LI: We are
learning about
multiplication and
division.
N/A Pre-test: Think-board
2 Telling the time. LI: We are
learning about
multiplication.

SC: 1. We can
explain what it is.
2. We can use
groups to show
multiplication.
3. We can solve
problems more
effectively.

Instead of repeated addition
we can use multiplication.
It involves a series of number
patterns.

3 Making equal
groups using
manipulatives
We are learning
to make equal
groups using
manipulatives.
Demonstrating visual
representation using groups
and incorporating repeated
addition.
Students to work in small
groups to display different
groups of.
Eg: 4 groups of 3
Photographs
4 Drawing equal
groups to
demonstrate
multiplication
We are learning
to show what
multiplication
looks like.
Demonstrate that
multiplication is more efficient
then repeated addition.

Introduce the multiplication
symbol.
Students to be provided with a
variety of multiplication
algorithms and draw images
to represent them.
Crosscheck
5 Using visual
displays to
represent
multiplication
We are learning
to explore times
tables.
Visual displays of different
timestables.
Students to create times table
picture story books.
Display and
sharing of
books.


6 Introducing
arrays to work
out
multiplication
problems.
We are learning
to explore arrays.
Demonstrate what an array is.

Demonstrate that an array is
both vertical and horizontal.

*Further exploration of order of
arrays*
Students to create arrays to
demonstrate knowledge of
multiplication.
Creation of
anchor charts
for display in
the classroom.
7 Arrays We are learning
to explore arrays.
Further practice of arrays. Students play in pairs the
arrays game where they
colour arrays in a grid using
dice rolls. Winner completes
grid first.
Crosscheck
8 Multiplication
stories/problem
solving
We are learning
to solve
multiplication
problems.
Language of multiplication. Create class worded and then
students independently create
their own problem with a
given multiplication.
Complete as a
whole class.
9 Using algorithms We are learning
how to solve
multiplication
problems using
numbers.
Demonstrate multiplication
using numbers with digits.
