Stage 2

Multiplicative relations B
  • MAO-WM-01

    develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly

  • MA2-MR-01

    represents and uses the structure of multiplicative relations to 10 × 10 to solve problems

  • MA2-MR-02

    completes number sentences involving multiplication and division by finding missing values

Multiplicative relations B
Investigate number sequences involving related multiples
  • Generate number patterns using related multiples

  • Investigate number patterns involving related multiples

Use known number facts and strategies
  • Apply the known strategy of doubling to connect multiples of 3 to 6 and 4 to 8 (Reasons about relations)

  • Use known facts to find unknown multiples (Reasons about relations)

Use the structure of the area model to represent multiplication and division
  • Create and represent multiplicative structure, moving from arrays to partially covered area models

Use number properties to find related multiplication facts
  • Use the commutative property of multiplication

  • Use the associative property within multiplication to regroup the factors (Reasons about structure)

  • Use flexible partitioning within multiplication (Reasons about relations)

  • Generate and recall multiplication fact families up to 10 x 10

Operate with multiples of 10
  • Use multiplication facts with multiples of 10 to multiply a one-digit number by a multiple of 10

  • Use place value to rename groups of 10 to multiply

  • Apply the commutative and associative properties to multiply by multiples of 10

Represent and solve word problems with number sentences involving multiplication or division
  • Use the equals sign to record equivalent number relationships involving multiplication (Reasons about relations)

  • Complete number sentences involving multiplication and division by calculating missing numbers (Reasons about relations)

  • Represent and solve multiplication and division (both sharing and grouping) word problems using number sentences
