use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving equal sharing and grouping; represent the situations with diagrams, physical and virtual materials, and use calculation strategies to solve the problem
- modelling problems involving repeated equal group situations, such as ‘How many wheels are needed for 3 cars?’, using materials and drawing a picture to show what they did, and recording the results with a number
- modelling practical problems involving equal sharing situations; for example, sharing a set of dominoes between the 2 players in a game, and then counting or subitising to ensure they both have the same number of tiles
- modelling money problems involving equal sharing; for example, sorting coins from a moneybox according to their denominations, sharing the coins equally between 4 people, and using counting or subitising to ensure they have equal amounts of each denomination
