multiply and divide one- and two-digit numbers, representing problems using number sentences, diagrams and arrays, and using a variety of calculation strategies

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• applying knowledge of numbers and the properties of operations using a variety of ways to represent multiplication or division number sentences; for example, using a Think Board to show different ways of visualising \(8 \times 4\), such as an array, a diagram and as a worded problem
• using part-part-whole and comparative models to visually represent multiplicative relationships and choosing whether to use multiplication or division to solve problems
• matching or creating a problem scenario or story that can be represented by a given number sentence involving multiplication and division; for example, using given number sentences to create worded problems for others to solve
