secmm-cc-theme-2-key-idea-14.pptx2.1.1.1 Understand the mathematical structures that underpin addition and subtraction of positive and negative integers
●Use ‘zero pairs’ to partition a number.
●Expand understanding of addition and subtraction to include calculation with negative numbers.
●Solve problems where there is more than one answer and there are elements of experimentation, investigation, checking, reasoning, proof, etc.
secmm-cc-theme-2-key-idea-15.pptx2.1.1.2 Generalise and fluently use addition and subtraction strategies, including columnar formats, with decimals
●Partition a number in multiple ways.
●Understand partitioning as a part of the columnar method with decimals.
●Manipulate place value correctly when calculating with integers and decimals.
Using the chart below, how would you partition the following numbers?
a) 3 033 b) 33.03 c) 3.14 d) 31.4

2.1.2.1 Understand the mathematical structures that underpin multiplication and division of positive and negative integers
2.1.2.2 Factorise multiples of 10n in order to simplify multiplication and division of both integers and decimals, e.g. 300 × 7000, 0.3 × 0.007, 0.9 ÷ 0.03, etc.
2.1.2.3 Generalise and fluently use written multiplication strategies to calculate accurately with decimals
2.1.2.4 Generalise and fluently use written division strategies to calculate accurately with decimals
secmm-cc-theme-2-key-idea-17.pptx2.1.2.3 Generalise and fluently use written multiplication strategies to calculate accurately with decimals
●Appreciate the limitations of the (standard) written method for multiplying decimals
●Use place value to manipulate a calculation involving decimals to an equivalent calculation involving whole numbers
●Appreciate the (standard) written method for multiplying two whole numbers can be used as part of the strategy for multiplying decimals
●Solve problems where there is more than one answer and there are elements of experimentation, investigation, checking, reasoning, proof, etc

2.1.3.2 Generalise and fluently use addition and subtraction strategies to calculate with fractions and mixed numbers
2.1.4.1* Understand the mathematical structures that underpin the multiplication of fractions
2.1.4.2* Understand how to multiply unit, non-unit and improper fractions
2.1.4.3 Generalise and fluently use strategies to multiply with mixed numbers (e.g. 2 3/4 × 1 2/3)
2.1.4.4 Understand the mathematical structures that underpin the division of fractions
2.1.4.5 Divide a fraction by a whole number
2.1.4.6 Divide a whole number by a fraction
2.1.4.7 Divide a fraction by a fraction
The area model, a form of grid-multiplication, is used to display how the distributive law is used to multiply two numbers presented in mixed fraction form.
