Teaching sequences for AC V9

Year 3

Students learn that the array is a powerful representation of multiplication: rows and columns represent factors, and these factors can be multiplied to find the product.

Year 4

Students investigate how far an origami frog can jump. They define their question, plan, collect and record data. They analyse this data and use it as evidence to answer the question.

Year 4

Students learn to use the properties of multiplication to solve multiplication problems which are represented as an array.

Year 5

Students use an animal flip book to explore the multiplicative idea of “for each” by determining the number of possible animal combinations, represented as a Cartesian product.

Year 5

Students learn how to collect and analyse historical weather data, and use this data to make predictions about the best time to play outside at different times of the year.

Year 6

Students make loopy aeroplanes using different designs. They collect, represent and analyse data to answer the question "Which loopy aeroplane design is best?”.

Year 7

Students use mathematical modelling to explore codebreaking. 

Year 9

Students use data to (re)create two rules of thumb and apply mathematical models to predict the rate of spread of bushfires.
