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.
