AC9M2A03 Year 2 Mathematics

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

Elaborations

• • Elaboration recognising and relating terms such as double, twice and multiply by 2, halve and divide by 2 using physical and virtual materials; for example, colouring numbers on a hundreds chart to represent doubles and use to recognise halves; recognising the doubling pattern and applying to find related facts such as for 8 twos think 2 eights
• • Elaboration doubling and halving collections to practise and develop fluency with multiplication and division facts for twos leading to recall of these facts
• • Elaboration 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?”
• • Elaboration develop 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
