This worksheet has been created to help scaffold children to understand word problems involving money and the four operations. Students read the number story and then create a number sentence to match. To solve the problem, they are then required to choose a suitable strategy to calculate the answer.
Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving additive and multiplicative situations, including money transactions; represent situations and choose calculation strategies; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation
Solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of efficient mental and written strategies
Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays
Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value
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
Uses a range of strategies and informal recording methods for addition and subtraction involving one- and two-digit numbers
Uses a range of mental strategies and concrete materials for multiplication and division
Uses number bonds and the relationship between addition and subtraction to solve problems involving partitioning
Uses the structure of equal groups to solve multiplication problems, and shares or groups to solve division problems
Solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of efficient mental and written strategies
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
Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value
Have students requiring support complete Level 1
