Victorian Curriculum F–10 Version 2.0

VC2M4A02

recall and demonstrate proficiency with multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and related division facts, and explain the patterns in these; extend and apply facts to develop efficient mental and written strategies for computation with larger numbers without a calculator

These quizzes practise concepts within this topic. Multiple-choice answers alone do not demonstrate drawing, conducting an investigation or using a digital tool.

Activities to practise beyond the quiz

  • Worked examples explain multiplication patterns, but these MCQs do not elicit a learner-produced explanation.
  • Worked examples explain division patterns, but these MCQs do not elicit a learner-produced explanation.
  • Correct selections do not establish that the learner used an efficient mental strategy.
  • Correct selections do not demonstrate the learner independently carrying out a written strategy.
  • Calculator-free work is requested where relevant, but use of an external calculator is not observed or prevented.
