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. …

MuS1
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

Probabilities expresses probability as the number of ways an event can happen out of the total number of possibilities describes probabilities as fractions of one (the probability of an even number when rolling a dice is \(\frac12\))
