use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems that involve additive and multiplicative situations, including financial contexts; formulate the problems using number sentences and choose efficient calculation strategies, using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation
- modelling and solving a range of practical additive problems using materials, part-part-whole diagrams and/or a bar model, and writing addition and/or subtraction number sentences, based on whether a part or the whole is missing; and explaining how each number in their number sentence is connected to the situation
- modelling practical problems with division, interpreting and representing the situation using a diagram or array to represent what is unknown (the number of groups, or the number per group); and writing a division number sentence to represent the situation and choosing an efficient calculation strategy
- modelling practical problems involving money (such as a budget for a large event) that require either addition, subtraction, multiplication or division and justifying the choice of operation in relation to the situation
- modelling and solving multiplication problems involving money, such as buying 5 toy scooters for $96 each, using efficient mental strategies and written jottings to keep track if needed; for example, rounding $96 up to $100 and subtracting 5 × $4 = $20, so 5 × $96 is the same as 5 × $100 less $20, giving the answer $500 − $20 = $480
- modelling situations by formulating comparison problems using number sentences, comparison models and arrays; for example, ‘Ariana read 16 books for the “readathon”; Maryam read 4 times as many books. How many books did Maryam read?’ using the expression 4 × 16 and using place value partitioning, basic facts and an array, thinking 4 × 10 = 40 and 4 × 6 = 24, so 4 × 16 can be written as 40 + 24 = 64
