• VCELA335

  Understand how to move beyond making bare assertions and take account of differing perspectives and points of view

  Elaborations

  • recognising that a bare assertion (for example 'It's the best film this year') often needs to be tempered by: using the 'impersonal it' to distance oneself (for example 'It could be that it is the best film this year'); recruiting anonymous support (for example 'It is generally agreed that it is the best film this year.'); indicating a general source of the opinion (for example 'Most critics agree that it is the best film this year.'); specifying the source of the opinion (for example 'David and Margaret both agree that it is the best film this year') and reflecting on the effect of these different choices

• VC2M5A02

  find unknown values in numerical equations involving multiplication and division using the properties of numbers and operations

  Elaborations

  • using knowledge of equivalent number sentences to form and find unknown values in numerical equations; for example, given that 3 × 5 = 15 and 30 ÷ 2 = 15, then 3 × 5 = 30 ÷ 2, and therefore the solution to 3 × 5 = 30 ÷ □ is 2
  • using relational thinking, and an understanding of equivalence and number properties to determine and reason about numerical equations; for example, explaining whether an equation involving equivalent multiplication number sentences is true, such as 15 ÷ 3 = 30 ÷ 6
  • using materials, diagrams and arrays to demonstrate that multiplication is associative and commutative but division is not – for example, using arrays to demonstrate that 2 × 3 = 3 × 2 but 6 ÷ 3 does not equal 3 ÷ 6; demonstrating that 2 × 2 × 3 = 12 and 2 × 3 × 2 = 12 and 3 × 2 × 2 = 12; and understanding that 8 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 = (8 ÷ 2) ÷ 2 = 2 but 8 ÷ (2 ÷ 2) = 8 ÷ 1 = 8
  • using materials, diagrams or arrays to recognise and explain the distributive property, for example, where 4 × 13 = 4 × 10 + 4 × 3
  • constructing equivalent number sentences involving multiplication to form a numerical equation, and applying knowledge of factors, multiples and the associative property to find unknown values in numerical equations; for example, considering 3 × 4 = 12 and knowing 2 × 2 = 4, then 3 × 4 can be written as 3 × (2 × 2) and, using the associative property, (3 × 2) × 2 so 3 × 4 = 6 × 2 and so 6 is the solution to 3 × 4 = □ × 2

• VC2M5N02

  express natural numbers as products of their factors, recognise multiples and determine if one number is divisible by another

  Elaborations

  • using a certain number of blocks to form different rectangles and using these to list all possible factors for that number; for example, 12 blocks can form the following rectangles: 1 × 12, 2 × 6 and 3 × 4
  • researching divisibility tests and explaining each rule using materials; for example, using base-10 blocks to test if numbers are divisible by 2, 5 and 10
  • using divisibility tests to determine if larger numbers are multiples of one-digit numbers; for example, testing if 89 472 is divisible by 3 using 8 + 9 + 4 + 7 + 2 = 30, as 30 is divisible by 3 then 89 472 is a multiple of 3
  • demonstrating and reasoning that all multiples can be formed by combining or regrouping; for example, multiples of 7 can be formed by combining a multiple of 2 with the corresponding multiple of 5: 3 × 7 = 3 × 2 + 3 × 5, and 4 × 7 = 4 × 2 + 4 × 5

  Elaborations

  • solving multiplication problems such as 253 × 4 using a doubling strategy, for example, 2 × 253 = 506 and 2 × 506 = 1012
  • solving multiplication problems like 15 × 16 by thinking of factors of both numbers, 15 = 3 × 5, 16 = 2 × 8, and rearranging the factors to make the calculation easier, 5 × 2 = 10, 3 × 8 = 24 and 10 × 24 = 240
  • using an array to show place value partitioning to solve multiplication, such as 324 × 8, thinking 300 × 8 = 2400, 20 × 8 = 160, 4 × 8 = 32 then adding the parts, 2400 + 160 + 32 = 2592; and connecting the parts of the array to a standard written algorithm
  • using different strategies used to multiply numbers, and explaining how they work and if they have any limitations; for example, discussing how the Japanese visual method for multiplication is not effective for multiplying larger numbers

• VC2M5P01

  list the possible outcomes of chance experiments involving equally likely outcomes and compare to those that are not equally likely

  Elaborations

  • discussing what it means for outcomes to be equally likely and comparing the number of possible and equally likely outcomes of chance events; for example, when drawing a card from a standard deck of cards there are 4 possible outcomes if you are interested in the suit, 2 possible outcomes if you are interested in the colour or 52 outcomes if you are interested in the exact card
  • discussing how chance experiments that have equally likely outcomes can be referred to as random chance events; for example, if all the names of students in a class are placed in a hat and one is drawn at random, each person has an equally likely chance of being drawn
  • commenting on the chance of winning games by considering the number of possible outcomes and the consequent chance of winning
  • investigating why some games are fair and others are not; for example, drawing a track game to resemble a running race and taking it in turns to roll 2 dice, where the first runner moves a square if the difference between the 2 dice is zero, one or 2 and the second runner moves a square if the difference is 3, 4 or 5, and responding to the questions ‘Is this game fair?’, ‘Are some differences more likely to come up than others?’ and ‘How can you work that out?’
  • comparing the chance of a head or a tail when a coin is tossed, whether some numbers on a dice are more likely to be facing up when the dice is rolled, or the chance of getting a 1, 2 or 3 on a spinner with uneven regions for the numbers
  • discussing supermarket promotions such as collecting stickers or objects and whether there is an equal chance of getting each of them

  Elaborations

  • using materials, diagrams or arrays to recognise and explain the inverse relationship between multiplication and division (for example, solving 240 ÷ 20 = □ by thinking 20 × □ = 240) and using the inverse to make calculations easier (for example, solving 17 × □ = 221 using division, □ = 221 ÷ 17)
