  Elaborations

  • using arrays on grid paper or created with blocks or counters to develop, represent and explain patterns in multiplication facts up to 10 × 10; and using the arrays to explain the related division facts
  • using materials or diagrams to develop and record multiplication strategies such as doubling, halving, commutativity and adding one more or subtracting from a group to reach a known fact; for example, creating multiples of 3 on grid paper and doubling to find multiples of 6, and recording and explaining the connections to the × 3 and × 6 multiplication facts: 3, 6, 9, … doubled is 6, 12, 18, …
