Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1. To find 2 × 3 = ? Learners arrange 2 straws vertically (legs) and put across it with 3 horizontal ones (arms). Learners count the number of intersections
E.g. 2. Learners model different multiplication sentences, for example 3 × 4 . Learners mention the number of dots (intersections) for other learners to model fence Note: Alternatively, learners may draw vertical lines to represent the legs and horizontal lines across them to represent the arms and then count the number of intersections as the product

E.g. 3. Draw a 6 by 6 multiplication chart for the numbers 5 to 10 and use it as a game board to play the 3-in-a-line game with a pair of dice or playing cards. Players take turns in throwing a pair of dice and mark (or cover) the product made in a throw with his/her marker (or counter). The winner is the one who obtains three products in a line.
