    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… practise and apply the 4 mental strategies selectively to solve addition and subtraction problems
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… demonstrate our understanding of positive and negative integers in solving directed numbers operations (add/subtract/multiply/divide).
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… perform metric unit conversion accurately in measurement


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • identify the unique features of each of the 4 addition/subtraction mental strategies
    • choose the favourable strategy to solve addition/subtraction problems, both mentally and in working
    • convert metric units correctly
    • solve directed number operations that involve both positive and negative integers
    • (extra for expert) algebra topic or own gaps on BrainPop or Khan Academy


    Activities:

    • Focus: Mixed 4 Strategies (add/sub)
    • Individual tasks to consolidate all 4 strategies, solving 5 different question sets
    • Corresponding worksheets posted on Google Classroom
    • Quick Quiz (maintenance) foci: metric unit conversion, directed numbers (operations)
    • Maths Buddy focus learning task and maintenance exercise
    • Catch up & review learning tasks from previous weeks
    • (extra for experts) Fun Problem Solving
