Multiplicative thinking resources

Students estimate and explain how they estimated their answer for two number problems: one involving multiplication; and the other division.

Students show or explain how to share equally amongst a number of people.

Students show how to work out the number of 1-digit that there are in 2-digit numbers.

Students identify multiples of 5 and of 3, and explain their reasoning.

Students calculate fraction division problems and show their working.

Students to show how to calculate problems that involve rates and ratios.

Students identify square and cubic numbers mentally in a timed test.

Students find and show given fractions of shapes and sets of counters.

Students show how to divide 3-digit whole numbers into equal sized groups and identify any remainder.

Students explore multiplicative relationships by completing multiplication equations.

Students demonstrate their understanding of the effect of division and multiplication involving fractions.

Students discuss making an interval estimate in multiplication problems (i.e., getting a lower and an upper limit for the actual answer using the front-end and rounding-up estimation methods). They then use this method on two problems.

Students identify the larger of two improper fractions and drag a number of improper and mixed fractions into ascending order.

Students show or explain how to share cakes and pizzas equally amongst a number of people.

Students share out sets of counters into equal-sized groups.

Students use percentages to calculate heights of a building from the total height. They then explain how to calculate another percentage.

Students convert heights of a building into the percentage of the given total height, explaining how they solved some conversions. Assessment focus is on how they calculate these heights and what strategies they use.

Students show how they solve equal sharing problems.

Students show how to partition a number of counters and identify the fraction shared.

Students answer maths problems involving multiplication, and show their working.

Students solve problems involving finding simple fractions of quantities, and show their working.

Students use doubling and halving to solve a number of multiplication problems.

Students work out the missing dimension on a rectangle and show how they obtained it using proportional reasoning.
