The same idea, year by year

Where AC9M4A02 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 4.

1. Year 3AC9M3A01recognise and explain the connection between addition and subtraction as inverse operations, apply to partition numbers and find unknown values in number sentences
2. Year 3AC9M3A02extend and apply knowledge of addition and subtraction facts to 20 to develop efficient mental strategies for computation with larger numbers without a calculator
3. Year 3AC9M3A03recall and demonstrate proficiency with multiplication facts for \(3, 4, 5\) and \(10\); extend and apply facts to develop the related division facts
4. Year 5AC9M5A01recognise and explain the connection between multiplication and division as inverse operations and use this to develop families of number facts
5. Year 5AC9M5A02find unknown values in numerical equations involving multiplication and division using the properties of numbers and operations
