Evidence of learning
The teacher uses an analysis of students’ completed worksheets, anecdotal notes of observations, and checklists of indicators to determine whether students have made progress as a result of the learning experiences.
The number of problems accurately completed determines whether individual students are ready to progress to the fluency phase of learning for multiplication using the extended form (long multiplication).
Criteria for assessment
Students are assessed on their ability to:- apply appropriate mental or written strategies to solve multiplication problems
- multiply two- and three-digit numbers by two-digit numbers using the extended form of multiplication
- use problem-solving strategies, including those based on selecting and organising key information in a systematic way
- make generalisations about number relationships.
