Term 2

The focus for Term 2 Mathematics is Multiplication, Division and Geometry. 

Students will be learning Multiplication and Division strategies in mixed class groups and the progressions they are focusing on may be dependent on the group they are in. For Geometry, students will be learning in their homeroom classes. 

The focus progressions for this term are listed below.

Multiplication and Division:

OPERATIONS: 

• Recall multiplication facts to at least 10 × 10 and corresponding division facts.

• Multiply multi-digit whole numbers (e.g., 54 × 112).

• Divide up to four-digit whole number by a one-digit divisor, with a remainder (e.g., 198 ÷ 7; 4154 ÷ 8).

NUMBER STRUCTURE: 

• Identify square numbers and factors of numbers up to 125.

RATIONAL NUMBERS: 

• Multiply and divide numbers by 10 and 100 to make decimals and whole numbers (e.g., 1.3 × 10 = 13).

Geometry:

SHAPES: 

• Identify, classify, and explain similarities and differences between: 2D shapes, including different types of triangle; prisms and pyramids.

• Identify and describe the interior angles of triangles and quadrilaterals.

SPATIAL REASONING: 

• Visualise and draw nets for rectangular prisms.

• Visualise, create, and describe 2D geometric patterns and tessellations, using rotation, reflection, and translation and identifying the properties of shapes that do not change.

PATHWAYS: 

• Interpret and create grid references and simple scales on maps use directional language, including the four main compass points, turn (in degrees), and distance (in m, km) to locate and describe positions and pathways.

• Use directional language, including the four main compass points, turn (in degrees), and distance (in m, km) to locate and describe positions and pathways.

Extension Group 

Multiplication and Division:

OPERATIONS: 

• Recall multiplication facts to at least 10 × 10 and identify and describe the divisibility rules for 2, 3, 5, 9, and 10.

• Multiply whole numbers.

• Divide whole numbers by one- or two-digit divisors (e.g., 327 ÷ 5 = 65.4 or 65 2/5 ).

• Identify and describe the divisibility rules for 2–11.

• Divide whole numbers (e.g., 327 ÷ 15 = 21.8 or 21 4/5 ).

RATIONAL NUMBERS: 

• Add, subtract, and multiply decimals, with an emphasis on estimating before calculating.

• Multiply and divide numbers by powers of 10.

Geometry:

SHAPES: 

• Classify and name shapes based on their attributes (e.g., triangles, pyramids).

• Identify and describe angles at a point, angles on a straight line, and vertically opposite angles.

SPATIAL REASONING: 

• Visualise, construct, and draw plan views for front, back, left, right, and top views of 3D shapes.

• Transform 2D shapes, including composite shapes, by resizing by a whole number or unit fraction.
