Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g.1 Use the area model (Expand and Box method) to multiply and divide efficiently. 526 × 54 =

∴ 526 × 54 = 25, 000 + 2, 000 + 1, 000 + 300 + 80 + 24 = 28, 404
E.g.2. Multiply whole numbers using the vertical place value method: (i.e. 657 × 27 =) 657 x27 4599
+ 1314 17739
E.g.3 Multiply whole numbers using the lattice method: That is to solve 382 × 856: Make a 3 by 3 lattice and set up the solution as follows:

382 × 856 = 326,992
E.g.3 Use the distributive property to multiply 325x 15 =325 x (10 + 5) = (325 x 10) + (325 x 5) =3,250 + 1,625 =4,875
E.g.4 Investigate and determine basic division facts including divisibility test
(i) Determine how a given number is divisible by 3,4,5, 6, 7, 8,9,10, etc.
