Multi-age K–2, mathematics, Year B – Unit 13
This two-week unit develops students' knowledge, understanding and skills of making and using equal groups.
Syllabus
Syllabus outcomes and content descriptors from the Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) © NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales, 2024.
In this unit, students will learn to:
- recognise, model and use equal and unequal groups
- share collections by forming equal groups
- use arrangements to distinguish between the number of groups and the number in each group when describing collections of objects
- solve multiplication and division problems using objects, diagrams, images, and actions.
