While space will not allow for mentioning every contributor explicitly, one cannot avoid listing the following names.
Player Lindsay Howard Martha Carbon Sylma Moses Junior Drigo Allie Walter Tricia Tavernier Joycelyn Panthier Matsuyo Utsunomiya Sariah Robin Field/School Curriculum Consultant under the DIFD Project Teacher/Woodford Hill Primary Teacher/Goodwill Primary Teacher/Giraudel Primary Teacher/Grand Bay Primary Teacher/Convent Prep Teacher/Roseau Primary Japanese UN Volunteer/Curriculum Unit North East Comprehensive Simon Sharplis, Mathematics Education Officer Introduction: Definition The question as to what is mathematics arises when we seek to understand the bases/roots of our human activities.
Mathematics can well be regarded as the foundation stone of many of our human activities.

Mathematics deals with a collection of objects which includes points, lines, numbers and events all of which are basic notions in our thinking.

The concern is not so much with the objects themselves as with the relationships and patterns they show.

The study of mathematics involves observing, discovering and investigating patterns and relationships especially as illustrated and modelled in the real world.
3 Purpose of Mathematics for life in our world It provides the capacity to Think in precise terms Develop (process/problem solving) skills, that are needed for: - Making connections - Reasoning - Communicating - Problem solving Have confidence in building or interpreting quantitative descriptions Contribution of Mathematics to the Curriculum Mathematics provides a foundation for productive discourse especially in the sciences and to some extent in the humanities.
It offers fuel for: Creativity Originality 4 Imagination The Subject Strands: Number Geometry Measurement Statistics and data handling Patterns, functions and algebra Integration Across subjects Mathematics concepts can be integrated into almost all other subjects of the national Curriculum and conversely mathematics can integrate concepts, skills and attitudes of other subjects.
For example: Social Studies and HFLE: Social issues and trends that form the basis of life can provide the raw data needed for Statistics/Data Handling.

 In mathematics, students learn to estimate and make accurate measurements which are skills required to engage in learning experiences in Science.

Measuring time is a life skill integrated into all subjects.

 Mathematics has its own vocabulary and mathematical literacy needs to be acquired in the early grades.
This reinforces and consolidates the learning in Language Arts.

 Mathematics is about problem solving, mathematics contributes to the development of life skills and the holistic development of the learner.

Thematic Integration It is possible to use a thematic approach to integrate across and within subject areas.

For example, Nature provides opportunities for thematic integration not only across strands in mathematics but across other subjects.

Count in a variety of ways: counting forward, counting backwards, skip counting, counting on 3.

Count by 2’s, 5’s, 10’s, 20’s, 25’s, and 100’s 4.

Identify, use and write numbers up to 1 000 and represent them in a variety of ways ACTIVITIES Count and build sets up to 1 000 objects in a variety of ways 1.1 1.2 Students listen as a story is related in which some items were on a vehicle going from one town to another.
At some point the vehicle is shaken in such a manner that some fall off and left scattered on a flat surface.

A passer by approaches.

She wants to find their number.

Students are asked to suggest what she can do.

Students are given a pile of (up to 1000) items such as beads, seeds, beans, buttons, pebbles, nuts, sheets of papers.

They are allowed to take items one by one from the pile and count aloud as they do so.

Five Six Seven Students are reminded that (i) the dots stand for any objects – e.g., fruits, buttons, grains, coconuts, spoons, books, words, letters, boxes, animals, birds, plants, stars, galaxies, flowers – and (ii) the same information is contained in each of the three ways/ forms in which each number appears.

Students are led to see that the numbers can appear on a square as shown and are led to complete the square.
Students are engaged in discussing the order of the numbers.

They note, for example, that 100 comes before 101, or 101 comes after 100.

The numbers are covered with cards.

Students asks which card comes in the 5th position, the 95th position, etc.

Students note general rules, example, smaller numbers come before larger ones, or larger numbers come after smaller ones.
1.3 1.4 Students are given straws or beads to represent numbers.

A ten can be represented by a bundle of ten straws or placing ten beads in a cup, and a hundred by 10 bundles of 10 straws.

Students use these straws to make numbers.

Students are given number cards e.g.

They use these numbers to represent three-digit numbers.

300 20 4 1.5 Students work in pairs.

One student writes down a number and the other has to write it down in words.
8 Count in a variety of ways: counting forward, counting backwards, skip counting, counting on 2.1 Students play oral game.

They are placed in a circle.

The rule of the game is to add 3.

Students continue.

If someone gives the wrong answer, that student is out.

The last student is the winner.

Students play game “Simon says.” They stand in a semi-circle (or in another fashion) with a leader to begin.

Only when the leader says “Simon says” before a command must the student react as says.
Use is made of such expressions as “Simon says ‘count backward from a hundred’”, “Stop”, “Simon says ‘stop’”, “Count by 2’s”.

The person who does not respond to Simon says or does otherwise is out.

The game continues until the class comes to a winner.
Use number chart: students are given 100 number squares in which they are to fill in the missing numbers 2.2 2.3 1 11 21 31 41 3 13 23 33 43 5 15 25 35 45 7 17 27 37 47 9 19 29 2.4 Students observe as teacher makes 100 number squares, cut out the numbers, divide students in groups.

Students arranged by 3, 4, 5.

They are given example (such as 45 __ 47 __ ) to fill out the missing numbers.
Count by 2’s, 5’s, 10’s, 20’s, 25’s, and 100’s 3.1 3.2 Students listen as a story is related in which some items were arranged in 2’s and were on a vehicle going from one place to another.

At some point the vehicle flips in such a manner that some fall off and left, not completely scattered, but partially ordered in 2’s, on a flat surface.

A passer by approaches.

He wants to find their number.


Students are asked to suggest how he can count them and are prompted to say “by 2’s.” Students are given a pile of (up to 1000) items such as beads, seeds, beans, buttons, pebbles, nuts, sheets of papers.

They are allowed to take items one by one from the pile and count aloud as they do so.

By being related such stories, they are afforded a supportive environment to learn skills and strategies in finding a number.

Students are placed in groups.


Each group given a die, different coloured counters (red, etc) and a game board.

 Students take turns to roll the dice.

Whatever number is thrown, the player covers a multiple of this number on the board with his counter.

The first player to cover four squares in a row on the board with his counter wins.
Identify, use and write numbers up to 1 000 and represent them in a variety of ways 4.1 Students are given flash cards with numbers in words and figures.

They match words to figures by playing game tea cup and saucer: e.g.

136 949 One hundred and thirty-six Nine hundred and forty-nine 4.2 4.3 Students match numbers to words: three hundred sixteen (361); six hundred thirty-one (163); one hundred sixty-three (136); three hundred sixty-one (636); one hundred thirty-six (316).
Students are presented with a number chart.

 Students are allowed to (i) shade numbers greater than 500 but less than 1 000 and (ii) describe patterns that appear.

Students use number riddles to identify numbers e.g.

guess the numbers when hints are given.


(i) I am a 3-digit number; (ii) I am less than 300 but more than 250; (iii) I can be shared into two equal groups; (iv) My last digit is 8; (v) My middle number is one less than 8.

What number am I?

Bingo games: Students are placed in groups of four.

They are given a bingo board (as shown below), counters and a different card from a set of bingo cards.
1 3 8 2 5 3 6 6 5 12 7 11 4.6 4 10 6 9 Students roll the dice and the number shown is covered on the bingo board.

First player that has a covered row wins.

Variation: roll dice twice and appropriate sum, difference or product is covered on the board.

[Use of game] Students play number games.

Numbers are written both in words and figures on number cards.

Students are handed the ones written in words and the ones written in figures are placed in their desks.
Students with cards go to the front of the class and (individually) read the number written on their card.

Students are asked to look in their desk to find the card with the number written in figures.

Individual students are then invited to come up to the front of the class and match the card to the words.

Use number lines to round off 2-digit numbers to the nearest 10 2.

Find the place value of any number up to 3-digits 3.

Write 2 and 3-digit numbers in expanded forms 4.


Create and solve problems involving place value 5.

Classify numbers as even and odd ACTIVITIES Use number lines to round off 2-digit numbers to the nearest 10 1.1 Students are shown two numbers, say, 10, 20 which are multiples of 10 and asked to put these numbers in order (or say which comes first on the number line).

They observe as these numbers appear on the number line, as illustrated below. )
( 10 20 Students are questioned to suggest which number comes exactly midway between these two numbers.

Once they say 15, they are led to notice that 15 is close to 10 and also close to 20.

They are asked, “Is it closer to 10 than to 20?” Once they say, “No,” they are pressed to see that 15 is as close to 10 as it is to 20.

(Example, if your home is at 10, your friend’s home is at 20 and the school is at 15, both you and your friend would have to walk or travel the same distance to get to school.)
It is the midway between 10 and 20.

Students are shown other examples of pairs of multiples of 10 (such as 20 and 30, 30 and 40 and so on), as illustrated below, and asked to mark the midway for each. )

( 20 30 ) ( 30 40 13 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 Students are asked to revisit the pair 10, 20 as shown on the number line.

They are related a story in which Cynthia is at 12 when she notices that it is about to rain.

To get shelter, she can run either to 10 or to 20.


Students are asked to reveal whether they would advise Cynthia to run to 10 or 20 and why.

This leads to a discussion which makes clear that while 12 is close to 10 and also to 20, it is closer to 10.

Students are asked, “What do you get if you round 12 to the nearest 10?” They are led to see that the answer is 10.

Students are shown a picture as below and asked to look at it and suggest a number on it which is closer to 20 than 10.
For the choice of number, they are asked to say why it is closer to 20. )

( 10 15 20 Suppose the number suggested is 16.

Students are asked to imagine that Roy is at 16 when he hears that a hurricane is coming and that every one must go quickly to the nearest shelter.

If Roy can get shelter at 10 and also at 20, to which number would we advise him to go and why.
Students are asked, “What do you get if 16 is rounded to the nearest 10?” Students are related a story in which Shirley is returning home from a party.

She knows that her mum might ask her about the people who were at the party, example, what their number was.

She thinks that although the number is 49, it is better to keep 50 in her mind, because it is easier to remember.

Students are shown a picture as illustrated below and asked to show roughly where 49 lies.
They are asked to explain why we get 50 when 49 is rounded to the nearest 10. )

( 40 35 50 Students are related a story in which a class is on a trip from 10 to 20 on the number line.

Midway on that trip, they must get to the nearest shelter to avoid some unpleasantness.

The class can get shelter at both 10 and 20.

Students are asked to suggest the number to which they would ask their teacher take the class and why.
They are asked, “What do we get when 15 is rounded to the nearest 10?” Students are engaged in a discussion in which they suggest what they think would be the rules in rounding numbers.

They are led to say (i) always round to the number that you are closer to and (ii) when you are midway, round to the bigger number.

14 Find the place value of any number up to 3-digits 2.1 2.2 2.3 Students are related a story in which Roger is in the company of some stars.

He knows their number is 153.


His friend says their number is 1 hundred + 5 tens + 3 ones.

Students are asked to suggest whether what Roger’s friend says is the same thing and why.

They are led to understand that the ‘1’ in 153 means 1 hundred, the ‘5’ means 5 tens and the ‘3’ means 3 ones.

Students are related a story in which Alice finds some nice things.

She knows their number is 464.

Students are engaged in discussing the 4’s in this number, their places in the number and their values.
They are led to see that the ‘4’ in the hundreds place means 4 hundred and the ‘4’ in the ones place means 4 ones.

Students are related a story in which Mark is telling his mum about digits and their values.

He says that if it is in the hundreds place, a digit means that many hundreds; so if the digit ‘9’ is in the hundreds place, as it is in 901, it means 9 hundred.

Students are asked to suggest if Mark is correct and to suggest other examples he could use.
Write 2 and 3-digit numbers in expanded forms 3.1 3.2 Students are asked to revisit the story in which Roger is in the company of some stars and knows their number is 153.

They are questioned to make use of the place value chart and reveal the number as 100 + 50 + 3.

Students are given opportunity to put other 2 and 3-digit numbers in their expanded forms.
Create and solve problems involving place value 4.1 4.2 4.3 Students are related a story in which while Johnny is ready about stars, he finds their number is reported to be 300 + 40 + 5.

Students asked to put the number in its shortened form.

Students are related a story in which Sonia counts her oranges and finds that their number is 271.

Student are asked to reveal whether their number is greater than or less than 217.
Students are related a story in which, in a match with Australia, West Indies scored 518.

They are pointed to a particular digit in this number and asked to reveal its value.

Classify numbers as even and odd Students are related a story in which Sharline has some nice things (marbles, say) she wants to share between her two friends, Chad and Bernard, so that each has the same number.
Students are shown various numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, …) that Sharline may have and are asked to find in which case a remainder of 1 is left and in which case no remainder is left.

In each case where no remainder is left, students are led to ask why no remainder is left.

They are led to say the reason is that the number is an even number.

Similarly, when a remainder of 1 is left, students are led to say this is because the number is odd.
Students observe as the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, …) appear on the chalkboard.

They watch as these numbers then split into two groups.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, ... 15 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, ... 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, ...

They are questioned to suggest how we could describe each group.

They are led to say that numbers in the first group each leaves no remainder after division by 2.
Numbers in the second group each leaves the same remainder of 1 after division by 2.

This means in the counting numbers we have even numbers and odd numbers.

Solve simple real life problems related to length ACTIVITIES Compare estimates, measure and record length and distance in metres 1.1 Students are shown (or are involved in making) an arrangement in which a string is tied to two poles, as illustrated.
Pole String Pole They are led to see that between the two poles is a distance.

They such and such the distance is related to the length of the string.

It is the length of the string when the string is stretch.

We can say (give, find, express) the distance in metres if we know how long a metre is.

Students are shown a metre and asked to guess the distance in metres.

They are then involved in using an appropriate instrument (e.g.
a metre rule or a measuring tape) to find a better (or more accurate) reading of the distance.

They then change the position of one of the poles by unwinding some of the strings.

They proceed to guess the distance and then to measure more accurately using the instrument.

They continue in this way to get data and complete a table, as suggested below.

20 Trial Distance (by guessing) Distance (by m easuring) 1.2 1.3 Students are placed in groups.
They are allowed to estimate and record the heights of various students and then use an appropriate instrument (possibly metre ruler) to find the actual height.

One says (decides, infers) that the rod or stick is longer today than how it was yesterday.

When asked how he knows, his response is that he measured it.

[Because of the space or opportunity measurement creates for knowledge, it is important to have measurement.

How is having a measurement possible?


We must be granted an instrument if we are not to avoid a measurement.

25 Cover shape With small Squares Count the squares, rectangles that just cover a 2-D shape 2.1 2.2 2.3 Students are related a story in which some friends, Debra, Theodore and Cleme worked as a group using cut-out squares or rectangles to cover various surfaces.

The group is now left with the task of revealing the number that just covers each surface.

Students asked to help this group by counting squares or rectangles that cover each surface.
Students are each given a piece of squared paper of the same size.

They are allowed to design a tile pattern and colour it.

They cover different surfaces in the classroom using the tiles.

They use the recorded measurements to arrange the items in order of area from biggest to smallest.

Solve problems by looking for relationships or patterns ACTIVITIES Describe how one number behaves when another number increases or decreases 1.1 In an exercise some Grade 3 students pretend the world is a box in which are some “nice things,” say, flowers.

(This could be thought of as the world’s population.)
It can pass through a tunnel that they call a function machine.

X / /// Y //// //// Double Function Mac hine Before the world enters the tunnel, a count is taken of the flowers in it.

Then the world passes through the tunnel.

It does so with the result that the flowers in it are affected – their number increases.

(The world’s population increases.)

In a particular exercise, students of Grade 3 found that the two sets of numbers are as shown below.
30 Number before (X) Number after (Y) Students look for a pattern.

The ten game: A student jumps on a number and then can only go to another number if it will make 10.
3 5 9 3 4 2 10 4 5 7 1 8 8 5 0 6 35 1.3 Students are introduced to the addition game “Make Twenty.” This is a game in which 2 to 4 players using 4 sets of number cards (0 to 20) proceed according to the following rule.

Each player is dealt three cards and the rest of the cards are placed in a face down pile.

The first player picks up a card from the pile and checks to see if he/ she is able to make 20 (that is, if he/ she has numbers that add to 20) and still discard one card.
If he cannot, he discards a card (face up) and player two picks up a card from the face down pile or picks up the top card in the discard pile.

A player who makes 20 wins 5 points.

The first player to get 20 points wins.

Variation: Deal 8 cards to each player and try to make as many combinations that make 20 as possible.

Combinations can be put down as soon as they are made.

The game ends when one player has no cards left after discarding one and putting down the combinations to 20.
Winner has the most sets to make 20.

Students talk about where lines are found.


They cite illustrations such as wires between electrical poles, telephone lines, cloth lines.

Students observe as a straight line and a curve line (a curve) appear (that is, are drawn) on the chalkboard.

For each line, they are asked to say if it is straight or curve.

Students engaged in sorting lines as straight lines or curves.

Students introduced to the term line segment, as any part of a straight line.
Students engaged in discussing the difference between straight lines, curves and line segments.

Students given exercise in which for each example they write: line, line segment or curve.

Students are told a story in which someone says lines are important.

Students are engaged in discussing why lines are important.

They are led to say without lines we cannot make triangles and other 2-D shapes.

Lines are needed to get the sides of a triangle.


Students are given or shown shapes as diagrams or cut-outs and asked to discuss (talk about) their sides (e.g.

how many they are, whether they are of the same length and if not which is longer or shorter; which has more sides, etc.)

Define and show lines of symmetry 2.1 2.2 Students are led to arrive at the following definition.

Let a line appear so that the shape has two parts and both parts are spread evenly about the line.
Then the line is a line of symmetry.

Students are asked to think of A and B as two parts of a shape.

Between these parts let a line appear as shown.

Is this line a line of symmetry?

A B 44 2.3 Students are asked to suppose now that a storm passes and with the effect that the shape is left missing a piece, say, from part B, as shown.

They are posed with questions to let them see that when it is put through a reflection (in other words, reflected), the object gives an image that looks the same as itself.

This is illustrated letting students see a picture as shown.

45 Object Im age Mirror Students are involved in a discussion of the fact that the image they see when they stand in front of a mirror looks the same as themselves.

Students are led to say that the reason the object looks the same is that it has reflection symmetry.
(The mirror line is a line of symmetry.)

2.5 2.6 2.7 Students are shown a leaf (or some leaves).

They are questioned on the lines they see associated with the leaf.

They are led to say that one of the lines is (or serves as) a line of symmetry.

They observe as (the teacher acts such that) a piece is cut from the leaf.

Students are helped to observe that depending on how the cut happens, the line of symmetry disappears; it no longer serves as a line of symmetry.
Students are engaged to come up with a definition such as: a line is (or serves as) a line of symmetry if the two parts on both sides of the line can be positioned so that they cover each other exactly.

Students are given cut-out shapes, including rectangles, triangles, circles.

They observe as teacher demonstrates and explains how we identify lines of symmetry by paper folding.

Students are asked to find out which of the cut-outs have lines of symmetry.
Students use cut-out shapes to show lines of symmetry in real life situations – e.g.

books, pineapples, butterflies.

2.8 Students trace pictures and complete them to show that the dotted line becomes a line of symmetry.

Investigate and draw lines of symmetry in cut-outs and diagrams 3.1 3.2 Students are told a story in which an investigation of a line of symmetry happens by some friends when they hear that the mathworld is one with lines of symmetry in it.
The investigation creates opportunity for students (i) to supply examples of shapes having lines of symmetry, (ii) illustrate ways in which the symmetry (or even spread) is broken, (iii) to see that the line of symmetry disappears if the symmetry is broken.

Students told a story in which someone falls from a tree and thereby loses one of his arms.

Students discuss whether this means his body loses its symmetry (even spread) and explain why the line is no longer a line of symmetry.
46 Before fall After fall Make tessellation patterns of different types of simple 2-D shapes using cut-outs 4.1 4.2 Students are told a story in which some friends consider what they can do with shapes and when someone says, “I have an idea,” they are introduced to the idea of a tessellation pattern.

Students talk about what a tessellation pattern is.

ACTIVITIES Use several strategies (e.g., concrete objects, skip counting, properties of multiplication, bingo and card games) to develop the multiplication basic facts for the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 times table 5.1 Students are given objects on their desks and asked to make ‘2 groups of 3’.

They are asked to give a number sentence that represents this story.

They write 3 + 3 = 6.


They are questioned or led to remember this is not the only way to represent the 50 5.2 5.3 5.4 story, that there is a way which involves multiplication.

They are led to remember that to say ‘2 groups of 3’ we write 2×3.

So another way is the number sentence 2×3 = 6.

Teacher note: In addressing multiplication, one has to answer three questions: (i) To what number does the multiplication happen?

(ii) By what number does the multiplication?


(iii) For what number does the multiplication happen?

Students are told a story in which some friends enter a room in which are 3 nice things (such as cookies).

They ask what can happen to the number 3.

To answer this question, someone introduces the word multiplication.

The person says multiplication can happen to 3.

Students are allowed to see that the multiplication that happens to 3 can happen by any other number, that, for example, it can happen by 2.
Students are introduced to the sign for multiplication.

Students are introduced to the following rules.

The number by which the multiplication happens comes before the multiplication sign.

Thus in the expression 2×3, the multiplication happens by 2.

The number to which the multiplication happens comes after the multiplication sign.

Thus in the expression 2×3, the multiplication happens to 3.
Students are shown some number expressions such as 1×4, 3×2, 5×3, 6×2, 8×2, 3×4, 4×2, 6×6, 2×9, 5×7, 3×1, 10×2, 2×10, 20×1.

For each, they are asked to indicate to which number the multiplication happens and by which number it happens.

For what number does the multiplication happen?

To let them see the answer, students are engaged in saying what the expression 2×3 gives.

They draw out that the expression gives another way to say 2 groups of 3 each.
They use concrete objects (such as bottle tops) to show or illustrate it as (°°°), (°°°).

Armed with this illustration, students are ready to be asked, “How many do we get if we put these groups together?” To find the answer, students count.

They make the statement, “2×3 is 6”.


For the expressions (i) 1×4, (ii) 3×2, (iii) 5×3, (iv) 6×2, (v) 8×2, (vi) 3×4, (vii) 4×2, (viii) 6×6, (ix) 2×9, (x) 5×7, (xi) 3×1, (xii) 10×2, (xiii) 2×10, (xiv) 20×1, students (a) make an illustration that indicates what each expression gives, (b) they proceed to count to figure out the answer or result for each and (c) for each they make a statement, “___×___ is ___”.
Completing the expression: Students complete simple number expressions or sentences for multiplication that happens by 2.

For example: 2×__ is the same as ___.

Or: 2×___ = ___.

Students continue as suggested below to build the 2 times multiplication table.

2x1 is 2x2 is 2x3 is 2x4 is 2x5 is 2x6 is 2x7 is 2x8 is 2x9 is 2x10 is 2x11 is 2x12 is Multiplication that happens by 2 gives us a table of numbers called the 2 times multiplication table.
51 5.5 5.6 Students are engaged in giving a story or illustration for saying ‘4×5 is 20’.

Students engaged in the use of multiplication tables to complete results × 3 6 25 7 56 5.7 Students investigate what is the same and what is different about adding and multiplying.

For the two number sentences 4 + 4 = 8 and 2×4 = 8, students talk about these two cases in terms of what happens to 4.

They are led to note that in one case 4 is added by itself.

In another case, 4 is multiplied by 2.


Discuss and use a variety of strategies to solve simple problems involving multiplication and division of 2-digit numbers by 1- digit numbers in real life settings 6.1 Students are related a story in which Cordelle is at a Kabouwé Festival.

In his sight appear 5 Kabouwés, each with 4 tires.

His attention is drawn to the tires.

He wants to find their number.


Students discuss a problem-solving strategy that involves drawing a picture or a diagram, as illustrated below.

Students are led to see that for us the picture suggests that the number Cordelle seeks is in the expression 5×4 or the expression 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4, that it is 20.

Students are related a story in which Lisa is in a garden.

In her sight appear 6 spiders, each having 8 legs.

The players aim to make the calculator show a selected number by pressing only a specific set of keys.

The players select the number and the keys to be pressed.

Example: “make the calculator show 150 by pressing only the 3, 7, +, - and = keys.” The player who obtains the number with the least number of presses wins the game.

Players can modify the game by varying the number and/ or the keys to be pressed.

They can also play a series of games, with the overall winner being the person with the most wins.
Students use a calculator to investigate whether, when each of a, b is a number, we find that a×b is the same as b×a.

Example, they find 43×21 and then 21×43 and based on the result decide whether we would be making a correct statement if we write: 43×21 = 21×43.

They proceed to try other statements.

7.3 7.4 Students are shown a number sentence such as 27∗19∗81 = 432.

Students proceed with the calculator to reveal which operation keys were pressed.
7.5 Mental strategy: Students are led to see that instead of trying to work out 6 of 99 (or 6×99) directly, we could first consider 6 of 100 (that is, 6×100), which is 6 more than the answer we seek.

This means the problem is 600 – 6 and the answer is 594.

Students are walked through other example.

To work out 4×11, we could first consider 4×10, which is 4 less than the answer we seek.

This suggests that the problem is 40 + 4 and the answer is 44.
7.6 53 RESOURCES Flashcards, base 10 materials, bingo and card games ASSESSMENT 1.

5.

6.

The student can describe how the multiplication sign is used in an expression of the form __×__.

For example, in the expression 3×4, the student can say ‘Since 3 comes before the sign, the multiplications happens by 3.
And since 4 comes after the sign, the multiplication happens to 4.’ Given an expression such as 3×4, the student can say (i) the multiplication happens to 4; (ii) the multiplication happens by 3; (ii) the multiplication happens for 12.

Given that a multiplication happens by a number between 2 and 8, the student can construct the resulting multiplication table.

For example, if told that the multiplication happens by 5, the student can build the 5 times table.

ACTIVITIES Discuss and use a variety of strategies to solve simple problems involving multiplication and division of 2-digit numbers by 1- digit numbers in real life settings 6.1 Students are related a story in which we consider our eggs.

Their number is 12, before the fowls lay.

As the fowls lay, let their number be multiplied by 2.
Students discuss a problem-solving strategy that involves drawing a picture or a diagram, as illustrated below.

2x12 12 24 Students are led to see that the picture suggests that the number we seek is in the expression 2×12 or the expression 12 + 12, that it is 24.

6.2 Students are asked to imagine now that the number we have is 20.

We can add another 20 to this, can’t we?

This means there comes the expression 20 + 20, which gives the result 40.

If another 20 is added to it, we are left now with 60.
77 This work could have been done in another way – through multiplication.

The expression 3×20 tells us that 20 is multiplied by 3.

To carry out the calculation, we could recast the expression in the format 2 0 x 3 2 0 x 3 6 0 6.3 Students are asked to imagine now that the number we have is 21.

We know that it has some three’s (3’s) in it, because it is greater than 3.

But we are not yet clear (certain) how many.


Mathematics tells us that to ask how many 3’s there are in 21, we can write the expression 21 ÷ 3.

One way to find out is to keep taking away (subtracting, removing) 3 from it until what’s left (in our hand) is 0.

One approach uses the number line.

Take a strip of paper on which are spaced numbers from 0 to 21.

Now with this strip in hand, make a cut at 18, to remove the first 3.
Then keep making other cuts until all the three’s (3’s) are removed (and what’s left in hand is 0).

0 Another approach uses the procedure shown below.

78 3 2 1 - 3 1 8 - 3 1 5 - 3 1 2 - 3 9 - 3 6 - 3 3 - 3 0 In this method, we keep subtracting 3 from what we have left until what is left is 0.

We then count the three’s (3’s) that are removed, to find that (in this case) as many as 7 three’s were removed.
This enables us to conclude that 21 divided by 3 is 7.

It 7 is summarised by writing 3 2 1 or 21 ÷ 3 = 7 6.4 Students are engaged in saying or writing a division statement corresponding to a given multiplication statement.

For example, given the statement 7×5 = 35, they write 35 ÷ 5 = 7.

And given the expression 5×7 = 35, they reveal 35 ÷ 7 = 5.
Discuss and use mental computation strategies or the calculator to carry out calculations when necessary 7.7 7.8 Students work mentally to complete written statements like: (i) 20×2 = ; (ii) ×2 = 60; (iii) 2× = 50 Students work mentally to complete written questions like (i) 50 ÷ 2 = ; (ii) ÷ 2 = 30 RESOURCES Flashcards, base 10 materials, bingo and card games 79 ASSESSMENT 7.

Every time Susan is met by, say, her Grandma, 2 is added to the previous number of ‘nice things’.
This means one has the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, … Students given 100 squares and allowed to colour numbers by 2’s, using a particular colour, say, green.

2 4 6 8 Students are told a story in which some friends enter a yard and proceed to look for stars.

At the first stop, they find 5 stars; at their second stop, they find 10 stars; at their third stop, they find 15 stars.
Students are told that the way stars are found means one has (we have) the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20, … Students are asked to suggest the number of stars that will be found at various stops, example, the fourth stop or the fifth stop.

Students are then given a 100 sqaures and allowed to colour numbers by 5’s using a particular colour, say, red, and thereby to continue the 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40… Students are engaged in playing buzz game.

Identify the pattern in a sequence of numbers 86 Students are told a story in which some friends enter a room and hear claps being produced.

A particular number is produced followed by some silence.

Then comes another number followed by some silence, and so on.

The friends try to work out how claps are produced.

They arrive at the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, … Students discuss the pattern.
They are asked to predict the number of claps the friends heard (i) the fifth time, (ii) the sixth time, (iii) the seventh time.

[Note: This sequence can be made with other numbers, e.g., with 5’s, with 10’s, with 25’s, with 100’s.]

Students are allowed to fill in missing numbers in given sequences.
