Year 3/4 Bulletin
Multiplicative Thinking
At Level 3:
Students recall multiplication facts of two, three, five and ten, establishing multiplication facts and number sequences. Using strategies to recall the multiplication and related division facts for the twos, threes, fives and tens. Represent and solve problems involving multiplication using effective mental and written strategies and appropriate digital technologies.
At Level 4:
Students investigate number sequences involving multiples of 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Recall multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and related division facts. Extending multiplication facts (for example 4 by 7 is 28 so 4 by 7 tens is 28 tens). Develop efficient mental and written strategies for multiplication and division. Using known facts and strategies, such as commutativity, doubling and halving for multiplication, and connecting division to multiplication when there is no remainder.
