use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving equal sharing and grouping; represent the situations with diagrams, physical and virtual materials, and use calculation strategies to solve the problem
Elaborations
modelling problems involving repeated equal group situations, such as ‘How many wheels are needed for 3 cars?’, using materials and drawing a picture to show what they did, and recording the results with a number
modelling practical problems involving equal sharing situations; for example, sharing a set of dominoes between the 2 players in a game, and then counting or subitising to ensure they both have the same number of tiles
modelling money problems involving equal sharing; for example, sorting coins from a moneybox according to their denominations, sharing the coins equally between 4 people, and using counting or subitising to ensure they have equal amounts of each denomination
