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. …

Forming equal groups shares collections equally by dealing (that is, distributing items one to one until they are exhausted) makes equal groups and counts by ones to find the total

Figurative (imagined units) relies on perceptual markers to represent each group uses equal grouping and counting without individual items visible but needs to represent the groups before determining the total counts by twos, fives and tens, matching …

Repeated abstract composite units uses composite units in repeated addition and subtraction using the unit a specified number of times uses skip counting and may use fingers to keep track of the number of groups as the counting occurs determines …

Flexible strategies for multiplication draws on the structure of multiplication to use known multiples in calculating related multiples (uses multiples of 4 to calculate multiples of 8) uses known single-digit multiplication facts (7 boxes of 6 donuts …
