Stage 2, mathematics, Year A – Unit 17

This 2-week unit develops the big idea that multiplicative thinking involves flexible use of multiplication and division concepts, strategies and representations.

Syllabus

Syllabus outcomes from 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.

Students are provided opportunities to:

  • use patterns and array structures to support multiplicative thinking
  • apply knowledge of multiplication to estimate, measure and compare area
  • apply knowledge of multiplication to measure and compare volume using the row, column, layer structure.

Multiplicative relations A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-MR-01

  • Generate and describe patterns
  • Use arrays to establish multiplication facts from multiples of 2 and 4, 5 and 10
  • Recall multiplication facts of 2 and 4, 5 and 10 and related division facts

Two-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-2DS-01, MA2-2DS-03

  • 2D shapes: Compare and describe features of two-dimensional shapes
  • Area: Use square centimetres to measure and estimate the areas of rectangles

Two-dimensional spatial structure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-2DS-01, MA2-2DS-03

  • Area: Measure the areas of shapes using the grid structure
  • Area: Compare surfaces using familiar metric units of area

Three-dimensional spatial structure A – MAO-WM-01, MA2-3DS-01

  • 3D objects: Make models of three-dimensional objects to compare and describe key features
  • Volume: Compare objects using familiar metric units of volume

Three-dimensional spatial structure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-3DS-01

3D objects: Connect three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional representations
