Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Solve problems involving division, choosing efficient strategies and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret any remainder according to the context and express results as a whole number, decimal or fraction.
What this means
Perform a division calculation.
- No mention is made of standard written division algorithms, but appropriate use of digital tools (calculators) is.
Tips
- The elaborations mostly show a single-digit divisor, many related to multiplication facts e.g., 56 ÷ 7.
- Context is used in relation to remainders. For example, it would not make sense to buy 15.6 boxes of cereal so 16 boxes would need to be bought.
