In this 2-week unit, students are provided opportunities to:

generate and describe multiplicative patterns and structures (Stage 2)
use arrays to establish and extend multiplication facts from multiples of 2 and 4, 5 and 10 (Stage 2)
represent and solve problems using multiplication fact families, arrays and number sentences (Stage 2)
determine products and factors (Stage 3)
use partitioning and place value to multiply 2-, 3- and 4-digit numbers by one-digit numbers (Stage 3)
represent and solve division problems with whole number remainders (Stage 3).
