This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 8 Mathematics. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration using patterns to assist in establishing the rules for the multiplication and division of integers
- • Elaboration applying and explaining efficient strategies such as using the commutative or associative property for regrouping, partitioning, place value, patterning, multiplication or division facts to solve problems involving positive and negative integers, fractions and decimals
- • Elaboration recognising the effect of sign in the multiplication of integers; for example, (-1)^4\;=\;1 and (-1)^5\;= -1
