MULTIPLES


                 •   Children work in groups of 4, each bringing their
                     6 bricks to the play space.
                 •   Work with a partner in the group of 4, and build
                     your colours into groups of 2, as quickly as you can.
                     (2 reds / 2 greens / 2 blues / etc.)


                 Q:      How many groups of 2 do you have?
                 Q:      Can you count your bricks in 2s?
                 Q:      How many bricks did you count?


                 Variations:
                 •   Combine your grouped colours with the other 2 partners to
                     create groups of 4.  (4 red / 4 greens / etc.)

                 Q:      How many groups of 4 do you have?
                 Q:      Can you count in 4s to say how many bricks you have
                         altogether?  (24 / 4 x 6)
                 Q:      How many 2s are found in 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 ?
                 Q:      How many 4s are found in 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 ?

                 •       Work in groups of 3 and do grouping in 3s.
                 •       Work in groups of 5 and do grouping in 5s.
                                                                                 PROBLEM

                                                                the number range you are using.
                                                            •   Teacher reads out a problem.  Children listen then
                                                                discuss with their group what the equation will be.
                                                            •   E.g.  Max has 6 sweets.  How many more does he
                                                                need to have 12?
                                                            •   Group decides on equation of either 12 – 6 = ?  or
                                                                6 + ? = 12

                                                            •   Various problem-solving activities can be practised
