We are learning how addition, multiplication, subtraction and division are related.


When we multiply we add equal groups together

When we divide we are taking away equal groups

We read the book - "The Doorbell Rang' and helped solve the problems using different representations


6 children and 12 biscuits....how many biscuits do the children get each.
Do the maths!


How many cookies each? on PhotoPeach

These grouping were viewed for 3 seconds and then the children used what they noticed to determine how many dots there were altogether. Look at all the felexible ways the children used different methods and representations to solve this problem. More Quick Images on PhotoPeach

Quick Images

Quick images is an activity that encourages students to use groupings flexibly to determine how many there are in total. The image is shown for 3 seconds...in those 3 seconds these were some of our noticings - What did you see and how would you represent and discuss your findings?
