Week 2
This week we will be focusing on representing and recognising multiplication and division.
Learning Intentions:
I am learning to:
recognise and construct a sequence of numbers based on repeated addition
recoginse groups of objects as arrays
solve worded problems
Success Criteria:
I can:
recognise repeated addition
construct a sequence of numbers using repeated addition
make arrays
identify rows
identify column
write my array as a multiplication equation
identify arrays in my everyday life.
Monday - Lesson 1
One Hundred Hungry Ants
Listen to the story about the ants and how they made groups to solve the problem of how to get to their food quickly. Watch them change into different arrays.
Multiplication Vocabulary
Brainstorm the definition of the words listed.
Multiplication Vocabulary
Join Ms Exner as she reads through and explains the vocabulary we will be using this week in Numeracy.
Repeated Addition and Multiplication
Watch Ms Exner play ‘Rolling the Dice’. She has some examples of different arrays she can make from two given numbers. We have learnt about repeated addition previously in the classroom. We are now making these connections with our understanding of multiplication.
Now it is your turn.
Have fun!
Roll the Dice
After watching Mrs Exners video complete this activity using repeated addition and multiplication strategies.
Tuesday - Lesson 2
Multiplication as Repeated Addition
Watch this Power Point to help with multiplication strategies
Array City
Have a go completing your own city. Use the vocabulary definitions we learnt yesterday.
What is an array?
What are rows?
What are columns?
Begin by cutting rectangular pieces of paper. Roll the two dice and use the numbers you have rolled for your array. Draw the array as windows on your tower. Paste your towers on a piece of paper. Don't forget to write what the array is for example 5x3=15
(5 groups of 3 equals 15).
Wednesday - Lesson 3
How many?
Where do we see them in everyday life?
Can you identify how many there are in each array?
Record:
How many rows?
How many columns?
Lets draw it!
Complete the sheet using the examples and then try your own on the next sheet.
Drawing Arrays
Have a look at this example to complete the 'Let's draw' activity.
Thursday- Lesson 4
Problem Solving
Solve the problems in this activity by applying the strategies you have learnt throughout the week.
Take a photo and put it into your Dojo Portfolio.
Array Art
You will need a pair of dice for this activity.
The activity involves you rolling both dice and then creating an array somewhere on you page. Use a ruler to rule straight lines and think artistically as you place the array. Once you have placed it, colour it in neatly.
Grid Paper
Use this to complete your arty arrays.
Maths Games
Bubble Trouble
Watch Mrs Barrett and Ms Exner make their game and play 'Bubble Trouble'.
Use 'Friends of Ten', doubles and near doubles strategies.
Biggest Number
Watch Ms Exner and Miss Gilchrist play a game of cards to help them find the biggest number using place value. The aim of this game is to find the biggest number with your 3 cards using everything you know about place value.
You could challenge yourself and add more cards.
Try playing again using 4 or 5 cards.
