Stage 7 multiplication strategies

The Octagon group are currently working within Stage 7. The Numeracy project requires students to use a variety of strategies when tackling addition/subtraction/multiplication and division problems. This video is their demonstration of multiplying two numbers together. The strategies used are using distributive properties (using standard place value/ using tidy numbers) and proportional adjustment (doubling and halving). Have a look and decide which strategy you would choose.

Stage 6 subtraction strategies

The Hexagon group are currently working within Stage 6. The Numeracy project requires students to use a variety of strategies when tackling addition/subtraction/multiplication and division problems. This video is their demonstration of subtracting using 3 digit numbers. The problems are solved using place value knowledge/place value partitioning/compensating with a tidy number and by reversing (adding instead of subtracting). Have a look and decide which strategy you would use.

Stage 5 addition strategies

The Pentagon group are currently working within Stage 5. The Numeracy project requires students to use a variety of strategies when tackling addition and subtraction problems. This video is their demonstration of adding two numbers by either working from doubles or by going up through tens. Have a look and decide which strategy you would choose.
