These Fair Sharing – Division Gummy Bear mats are a great hands-on resource for students to practice and consolidate sharing by different numbers and introduces the early concept of division.
This resource includes a recording sheet, which students can use as they use the activity or even as formative assessment.
Perfect for rotations and small group work.
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
Multiply and divide by one-digit numbers using repeated addition, equal grouping, arrays, and partitioning to support a variety of calculation strategies
Recall and demonstrate proficiency with multiplication facts for twos; extend and apply facts to develop the related division facts using doubling and halving
Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations
Describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols
Uses objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems
Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained
Applies place value, informally, to count, order, read and represent two- and three-digit numbers
Uses a range of mental strategies and concrete materials for multiplication and division
Represents and models halves, quarters and eighths
Uses the structure of equal groups to solve multiplication problems, and shares or groups to solve division problems
Recognise and describe one-half as one of two equal parts of a whole
Recognise, model, read, write and order numbers to at least 100. Locate these numbers on a number line
Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays
Apply repetition in arithmetic operations, including multiplication as repeated addition and division as repeated subtraction
Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations
Investigate number sequences, initially those increasing and decreasing by twos, threes, fives and ten from any starting point, then moving to other sequences
