Multiplicative strategies description
This sub-element describes how a student becomes increasingly able to use multiplicative strategies in computation. The coordination of units multiplicatively involves using the values of one unit applied to each of the units of the other, the multiplier. …

Coordinating composite units coordinates two composite units (mentally) as an operation (that is, both the number of groups and the number in each group are treated as composite units) represents multiplication in various ways (arrays, factors, ‘for …

Flexible number properties uses multiplication and division as inverse operations uses factors of a number to carry out multiplication and division (to multiply a number by 72, first multiply by 12 and then multiply the result by 6) uses knowledge …
