The Multiplier (small 2-digit by 1-digit numbers)

This unit uses The Multiplier, one of the digital learning objects that can be found in Te Pataka Matihiko, Our Digital Storehouse, to multiply 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. It is designed for students transitioning from Stage 5-Early Additive to Stage 6-Advanced Additive of the Number Framework. This unit is the first in a series of four units that focus on using the Multiplier as an aid to learning multiplication. It includes examples of word problems that use multiplication, students are also encouraged to make up problems of their own.

Resource

The Part-adder 2

This unit uses one of the digital learning objects, the part-adder, to support students as they investigate the addition of whole numbers. It is the second in a series of two units that focus on using this learning object; the first in the series outlines how it can be used with students at Stage 5 - Early Additive of the Number Framework while this unit outlines ways to support students working at Stage 6 - Advanced Additive. It includes problems and questions that can be used by the teacher when working with a group of students on the learning object, and ideas for independent student work.

Resource

Perplexing Perimeters

In the process of constructing their own “rulers” the students develop a sense of the size of a centimetre and metre.  As the students select the appropriate “ruler” for the tasks they learn to choose that the section of the measuring instrument we are using/making is determined by the exactness of the measurement needed.  In addition this unit reinforces the number skills of students as they calculate the perimeter of objects using centimetres or metres.

Resource

The Take-Away Bar 2

This unit introduces students to "The Take-Away Bar" digital learning object, a tool to help students solve subtraction problems by breaking numbers into parts.

This unit is for students at Stage 6-Advanced Additive of the Number Framework, Curriculum Level 3, i.e. students who have developed more than one part-whole strategy for addition and subtraction and can use these strategies to solve subtraction problems involving large numbers.

This digital learning object has two versions, one where subtraction problems are generated and one where students and teachers can make up their own subtraction problems. The problems at this level involve subtracting a two-digit number from a larger two-digit number.

Resource

The Difference Bar 2

This unit introduces students to "The Difference Bar" digital learning object, a tool to help students work out the difference between two numbers by breaking numbers into parts.

This unit is for students at Stage 6-Advanced Additive of the Number Framework, Curriculum Level 3, i.e. students who have developed more than one part-whole strategy for addition and subtraction and can use these strategies to solve problems involving large numbers.

This digital learning object has two versions, one where difference problems are generated and one where students and teachers can make up their own difference problems. The problems at this level involve solving the difference between 2 two-digit numbers.

Resource

The Multiplier (larger 2-digit by 1-digit numbers)

This unit uses The Multiplier, one of the digital learning objects that can be found in Te Pataka Matihiko, Our Digital Storehouse, to multiply 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. It is designed for students working at Stage 6-Advanced Additive of the Number Framework who are able to use a combination of known facts and mental strategies to derive answers to multiplication problems. This unit is the second in a series of four units that focus on using the Multiplier as an aid to learning multiplication. It includes examples of word problems that use multiplication, and students are also encouraged to make up problems of their own.

Resource

The divider (whole number remainders)

This unit uses three of the series of four Divider learning objects to support the students division of whole numbers where there is either no remainder or whole number remainders. The Divider encourages the students to split a division problem into parts based on known division or multiplication facts. The divider is based on a rectangular representation of division where one of the side lengths is unknown.

Resource

The School Fair

Squirt Level 3

This unit explores how the suite of learning objects, "Squirt", can be used to support students’ development of multiplicative thinking. Squirt encourages students to anticipate multiplicative measurement relationships, e.g. three measures of A fit in B, by partially filling a container and imaging how many more squirts will be needed. Since the containers are not always cylindrical it also develops ideas about conservation of volume.
