• VC2M4N01

  recognise and extend the application of place value to tenths and hundredths and use the conventions of decimal notation to name and represent decimals

  Elaborations

  • using a bar to represent the whole, dividing it into 10 equal pieces with each piece representing 0.1 or one-tenth of the whole length and understanding that 2 pieces are 0.2 or two-tenths of the whole
  • using materials to show the multiplicative relationship between the whole, tenths and hundredths; for example, using a bundle of 10 straws to represent the whole, one straw as the tenth, and cutting the tenth into 10 parts to show the hundredths; or using deci-pipes to represent tenths
  • recognising that one is the same as ten-tenths and one-tenth is the same as ten-hundredths and using this relationship to rename decimals; for example, renaming 0.25 as two-tenths and five-hundredths or twenty-five-hundredths
  • making models of measurement attributes to show the relationship between the base unit and parts of the unit, for example, 1.5 metres is one metre and five-tenths of the next metre; 1.75 units is one unit and seventy-five-hundredths of the next unit
  • counting large quantities of mixed notes and coins, writing the total using dollars and cents, and recognising the cents as parts of the next dollar
  • comparing the way money and measures are read and said, and explaining how they are the same and different; for example, explaining that $2.75 is said ‘two dollars seventy-five’ and 2.75 metres is said ‘two point seven five metres’, and recognising that the 7 means seven-tenths and the 5 means five-hundredths in both

  Elaborations

  • using known multiplication facts for 2, 3, 5 and 10 to establish multiplication facts for 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in different ways; for example, using multiples of 10 to establish the multiples of 9 as ‘to multiply a number by 9 you multiply by 10 then take the number away’: 9 × 4 = 10 × 4 − 4, so 9 × 4 is 40 − 4 = 36; or using multiples of 3 as ‘to multiply a number by 9 you multiply by 3, and then multiply the result by 3 again’
  • using arrays and known multiplication facts for twos and fives to develop the multiplication facts for sevens, applying the distributive property of multiplication; for example, when finding 6 × 7, knowing that 7 is made up of 2 and 5, and using an array to show that 6 × 7 is the same as 6 × 2 + 6 × 5 = 12 + 30, which is 42
