Make equal sharing and grouping crystal clear for your Year 1 students with this ready-to-print Bump It Up Wall aligned to Australian Curriculum v9 (AC9M1N06).
This resource supports students to use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving equal sharing and grouping. Students represent situations using diagrams, physical materials, and simple calculation strategies — while clearly seeing what improvement looks like at each level.
If you’ve ever had students “share” without actually making groups equal… this wall makes expectations visible.
✔️ Clear Learning Intention aligned to AC9M1N06
✔️ Three Levels of Success Criteria (progression from supported attempts to independent problem solving)
✔️ Three Levels of Visual Exemplars (concrete → pictorial → modelled problem solving)
✔️ 15 Sentence Stems (5 per level to support mathematical talk)
✔️ 8 Key Vocabulary Terms with student-friendly definitions
✔️ “I Can” statements aligned to the Achievement Standard
