• VC2M2A03

  recall and demonstrate proficiency with multiplication facts for twos; extend and apply facts to develop the related division facts using doubling and halving

  Elaborations

  • recognising and relating terms such as ‘double’, ‘twice’ and ‘multiply by 2’, and ‘halve’ and ‘divide by 2’ using physical and virtual materials; for example, colouring numbers on a hundreds chart to represent doubles and using it to recognise halves or recognising the doubling pattern and applying the pattern to find related facts such as ‘For 8 twos, think 2 eights’
  • doubling and halving collections to practise and develop fluency with multiplication and division facts for twos, leading to recall of these facts
  • establishing an understanding of doubles and near doubles using physical or virtual manipulatives; for example, using manipulatives to establish that doubling 5 gives you 10, then extending this doubling fact to respond to the question ‘How can you use this fact to double 6 or double 4?’
  • developing fluency with doubling and halving numbers within 20 using physical or virtual materials and playing doubling and halving games; for example, using a physical or virtual dice and choosing whether to double or halve to reach a target number

• VC2M2M04

  recognise and read the time represented on an analog clock to the hour, half-hour and quarter hour

  Elaborations

  • creating an analog clock from a paper plate, showing the placement of the numbers and the 2 hands, and explaining how long it takes for the 2 hands to move around the clock face and what time unit each is showing
  • recognising and describing the relationship between the movement of the hands on an analog clock and the duration of time it represents; for example, connecting the language of ‘half past’ to mean when the ‘big hand’ will be at half past the hour and recognising this position as being halfway around its full cycle
  • dividing a clock face into halves and quarters, and connecting the subdivisions with telling the time to the half-hour and quarter hour; and explaining the meaning of ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’ referring to the hour
