Lesson 1

Lesson 2

Lesson 3

Using task cards demonstrate

that division is a re-arrangement
of a multiplication question
using the same set of numbers
just in different order with
different symbols.
e.g. 4 x 6 = 24
24 6 = 4

This reviews inverse
operations from addition to
subtraction and introduces
and explains multiplication
to division.

Introduce students to
division with remainders.
Ask the students to solve the
following problem we have
23 lollies and we need to
share them equally between
three groups. How many
lollies in each group and
how many are left over?
Discuss how our knowledge
of multiplication facts can
help solve this problem.

Students roll 6 sided dice twice

to create a 1 digit multiplication
question. On whiteboards they
need to rearrange the three
multiplication questions to make

Week
Week 6/7

Outcome
Choose appropriate units
of measurement for area
(ACMMG108)

Content

recognise the need for a formal unit larger

than the square metre
identify situations where square kilometres
are used for measuring area, e.g. a suburb
recognise and explain the need for a more
convenient unit than the square kilometre
record areas using the abbreviations for
square kilometres (km2) and hectares (ha)

Lesson 1

Lesson 2

Lesson 3

Introduce area as the

amount of space inside
shape.

Discuss that square

centimetres is not always an
appropriate unit of
measurement. What other
units can we use? m2, km2
and hectares.

Discuss the difference

between hectares and
square kilometres.

Speak about the different

situations in which it helps
to know the area of a space
sport, housing etc.
Demonstrate calculating the
area of a rectangle by
multiplying length by width.
Using Maths grid books copy
a variety of rectangles into
students books and multiply
the length by the width to
find the area.
Discuss that the answer
should reflect how many
1cm squares fit inside the
shape.

Using newspaper create a

square metre and measure
an object in the classroom
whiteboard, the door, a
window etc.

Demonstrate the lengths of

a perfect square kilometre
against a hectare. 1km sides
100m sides.
Discuss when it may be
appropriate to use hectares
measurement and when it
may be appropriate to use
square kilometres.

Introduce the terms square

kilometre and hectare for
measuring even larger areas. Work through the hectares

be measured by square
kilometres or in hectares?
Note that 1 ha = 0.1km2
