Flexible Thinking with Multiplication Problems

23/10/2019

AT AISL we encourage students to think of number problems flexibility, to enable them to solve problems in different ways using multiple strategies. In the Primary School, we have been exploring the use of the Number Framework as a structure to support the teaching and learning progression of number knowledge and strategies. Each stage of the Number Framework develops a different set of strategies. Below is a multiplication problem that we encourage you to solve. Next week we will share different strategies that students in 4AVH used to solve this problem and link these strategies to different areas of the Number Framework.
