Note: The focus of this outcome is for the students to become familiar with multiplication and division and strategies for mentally determining products and quotients. It is not intended that students memorize the basic facts. | |
(a) |
Observe and describe situations relevant to self, family, or community that can be represented by multiplication and write and solve a multiplication statement for each situation. |
(b) |
Observe and describe situations relevant to self, family, or community that can be represented by equal sharing or grouping and write and solve a division statement for each situation. |
(c) |
Explain and represent concretely, pictorially, orally, or physically, as well as symbolically, the relationship between repeated addition and multiplication and the relationship between repeated subtraction and division. |
(d) |
Represent and solve an orally presented multiplication or division statement, concretely, physically, or pictorially, using equal groupings, an array, repeated addition, or repeated subtraction (e.g., 3 x 4 shown using equal groupings of snowballs). |
(e) |
Apply and explain personal strategies for determining products and quotients. |
(f) |
Model the commutative property of multiplication and write the symbolic multiplication equation represented. |
(g) |
Represent and solve an orally presented situational question that involves division. |
(h) |
Relate multiplication and division orally and by using concrete, physical, or pictorial models, including repeated addition/subtraction and arrays/dimensions. |
(i) |
Create multiplication or division statements and determine the resulting products or quotients related to a given situational question. |
(j) |
Create and solve a situational question that relates to a given symbolic multiplication or division statement. |
