Key Features and Benefits: Multiplication Children begin to understand multiplication as repeated addition through models (such as adding three groups of two blocks). They begin to memorize multiplication tables, and finally, to multiply 2- and 3- digit numbers, using division to check the results. Division Children start by using models (blocks, diagrams, drawings) to represent division as repeated subtraction, or the inverse of multiplication. Finally, they use long division to divide 2- and 3- digit numbers with remainders and decimals. Consonants There are more consonants sounds than there are consonants in the alphabet. A consonant digraph is a pair of consonants that stand for a single sound (ch, sh, th, wh). Plurals, tense and contractions Children pick up plurals and contractions before they correctly learn the different tenses of words. Vowels Spelling begins with regular short vowel sounds (cap) and long vowel sounds (with silent e, cap becomes cape). Finally, children learn the rules and patterns of vowel pairs (ee), digraphs (ai in train), dipthongs (oi in boil) and r-controlled vowels (farm, bird). Word parts Once children know all the sounds of the language they learn how some words have parts in common. A good understanding of word parts allows children to spell multisyllabic words, compound words and words with prefixes and suffixes. Division Children start by using models (blocks, diagrams, drawings) to represent division as repeated subtraction, or the inverse of multiplication. Finally, they use long division to divide 2- and 3- digit numbers with remainders and decimals. Vocabulary While infants and toddlers learn vocabulary by memory, older children use word structure and context to help understand the meaning of a word. They identify synonyms and antonyms. They use prefixes, suffixes and base words to build their own vocabulary.
