In 3rd Class, children have been deepening their understanding of multiplication and division through hands-on, engaging activities using concrete resources. By manipulating objects like counters, cubes, arrays, and number lines, students can visualize mathematical concepts. This practical approach encourages active learning and problem-solving, helping children build a solid foundation in number relationships, grouping, sharing, and repeated addition or subtraction.

These experiences foster a deep, conceptual understanding of multiplication and division, promoting confidence and enthusiasm in mathematics while aligning with the new Irish Primary Maths Curriculum.
