BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The word ‘and’ is used between the hundreds and the tens when reading a number, but not between other places e.g. seventy-three thousand, six hundred and sixty-three. Words such as ‘place’ and ‘round’ have different meanings in everyday language to those in a mathematics context. / PLACE VALUE

Computation Strategies: Students need to be shown how and why particular computation strategies work and need to practise using different strategies to assist them to make personal choices when using strategies. Strategies are not referred to as mental strategies as even though much of the computation is done mentally it is not the expectation that students should keep all the work in their heads. Written recording (informal and formal) is encouraged for communication and justification of strategies and methods used. / addition, subtraction, the sum of, total, number facts, patterns, combine, combinations, swap, estimate, digit, different, difference between, no difference, subtract, remain, counting on, counting back, adjust (change), compensate (fix), break up numbers, double, near double, sign, one more, two more……one hundred more, one less, two less……two hundred less, split, bridge to, estimate, change, rounding, adjusting, make to, trade, regroup
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Word problems requiring subtraction usually fall into two types – either ‘take away’ or ‘comparison’. The comparison type of subtraction involves finding how many more need to be added to a group to make it equivalent to a second group, or finding the difference between two groups. Students need to be able to translate from these different language contexts into a subtraction calculation.
The word ‘difference’ has a specific meaning in a subtraction context. In everyday situations, if asked the difference between two groups, a student may say that a particular group is bigger than another, but they may be referring to the attribute of size rather than the numeric value of the group e.g. one group may be comprised of larger buttons.

NUMBER & PLACE VALUE
MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION / MULTIPLICATION & DIVISION
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 /
  • interpreting and representing the remainder in division calculations sensibly for the context
  • exploring techniques for multiplication such as the area and partition models
  • using calculators to check the reasonableness of answers
  • applying the commutative, associative and distributive laws
/ MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION
  • recall multiplication and division facts to 10 x 10
  • relatemultiplication and division facts to at least 10x10 e.g. 6x4 = 24, 244 = 6, also 4x6 = 24, 246 = 4
  • determine whether a problem needs multiplication or division to be solved
  • pose and solve multiplication and division problems involving numbers beyond 100,000, including decimals to 3 places
  • select and use mental, written or calculator strategies to solve multiplication and division problems
  • record remainders to division problems
  • apply the inverse relationship of multiplication and division to check answers
  • record remainders to division problems in symbols
  • explain the relationship between subtraction and division as repeated subtraction & the relationship between addition and multiplication
  • apply the commutative, associative and distributive properties to assist calculations and choose whether to use mental, written or technology assisted methods or a combination of these (e.g. 47 + 95 + 13 = 47 + 13 + 95 = 60 + 95 = 155, calculate 4 lengths of 3.25 metres as 3.25 m × 4 by writing 3 m × 4 makes 12 m and 0.25 m × 4 makes 1m more, total 13 m) and discuss the method used
Computation strategies: The same strategy categories that were used in addition and subtraction are most often also applicable when multiplying and dividing – breaking up numbers, adjusting and compensating and doubling and halving. Students need support to learn how and why strategies work so they can add them to their personal repertoires. Written recording of strategies (traditional and student-generated) used is important for communication and justification of methods used and strategies chosen. / multiple

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
When beginning to build and read multiplication tables aloud, it is best to use a language pattern of words that relates back to materials such as arrays. As students become more confident with recalling multiplication number facts, they may use less language. For example, ‘seven rows (or groups) of three’ becomes ‘seven threes’ with the ‘rows’ or ‘groups of’ implied.
Division problems may be of different types. For example sharing problems such as share $45 between three friends and grouping or repeated subtraction type problems, such as how many dance tickets costing $3 each may be bought for $45.

  • pose and solve problems, one and two step, problems involving fractions in everyday contexts e.g. ‘If one-quarter of the class is going to the computer room, how many students will be left in the classroom?
  • Rename 2/2, 4/4, 8/8 = 1
  • investigate why 1/5 < 1/3
    e.g. if the cake is divided between five people, the slices are smaller than if the cake is shared between three people
  • order unit fractions by referring to the denominator or diagrams e.g. 1/5 < 1/4 < 1/3
  • explain and demonstrate that the denominators of fractions represent the number of equal pieces into which the whole was divided
  • explain and demonstrate that the larger the denominator of a fraction, the smaller the fraction
  • compare and order common fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8 and 1/10) and justify decisions by using a number line
  • identify related common fractions – eg. ½, ¼, 1/8, or 1/5 and 1/10
  • compare, order and rename mixed numbers & improper fractions,and justify decisions by using a number line and making the mixed numbers using materials such as card to show wholes and fractions of shapes

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
When students create their own area models encourage the use of rectangular shapes rather than circular, which are difficult to represent accurately.
When using discrete materials to model fractions, students may not appreciate ‘the part of a whole’
e.g. when circling three counters to show a quarter of twelve.
In developing the concept of a fraction, students come to understand:
  • fraction involves ‘equal parts’ illustrated by area models and parts of a collection
  • fraction as an operator (of 20 = 10)
  • fraction as a number on a number line
  • fractions and decimals are representations of the same number.
