Multiplication and Division Activities
This page provides a range of multiplication and division activities aligned with the Early Childhood Assessment in Mathematics (ECAM) continuum for Multiplication and Division. These activities can be used by teachers or parents to support students' progress within a stage, or to promote movement to the next stage on the continuum.
MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION
| ECAM CONTINUUM STAGE | POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES | Stage A: These children are not yet successful in making equal groups and sharing to find products or dividends.
Next Steps: - Make small equal groups, share small amounts equally using a count by ones strategy.
| Two Equal Groups
Three Equal Groups
Two Equal Shares
Three Equal Shares
| | Stage B: These children can make small equal groups, and share small amounts equally using a count by ones strategy.
Next Steps: - Begin to group, share, and divide collections and to see a group as one unit.
| Equal Groups on a Number Line
Counting Collections
Making Equal Groups
| Stage C: These children can group, share, and divide collections. They see a group as one unit.
Next Steps: - Use skip counting or repeated addition to find products and dividends.
| Building Arrays
Number Story Arrays (Set 1)
Number Story Arrays (Set 2)
* See ECAM Counting page Stages D and E for activities to develop skip counting skills.
| Stage D: These children use skip counting or repeated addition to find products and dividends.
Next Steps: - Use thinking strategies to multiply (by tens, doubling, repeated addition, turning around)
