  • Context:


    * Catch-up from the previous week; Science Fair Week (recover)

    MHJC Learning Framework Step:

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING… use a range of mental strategies to develop part-whole thinking skills in order to solve multiplication and division problems.
    • We are FOCUSING… use cut-and-paste (aka factorisation) mental strategy to develop the confidence and mental skills to solve multiplication problems.


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • use algorithm (column method) to solve multiplication problems with 2- to 3-digit numbers
    • solve multiplication problems using basic fact knowledge; e.g. times table
    • mentally solve multiplication problems using cut-and-paste strategy (fractorisation)
    • (extra for expert) multiplication with variables


    Activities:

    • Quick Quiz (maintenance) foci: times tables, multiplication with variables
    • Maths Buddy focus learning task and maintenance exercise
    • Catch up & review learning tasks from previous weeks
    • (extra for experts) multiplication with variables in two-step equations

    Resources:


    Homework:

    • Complete learning tasks posted on Google Classroom
    • Maths Buddy maintenance exercises
    • (if necessary) Review or catch up with unfinished class learning tasks


    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… practise and apply times table facts to simplify fractions.
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… practise and apply times table facts to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers, and vice versa.
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… practise and apply working strategies to solve addition / subtraction problems of fractions with different denomintors.
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… practise and apply working strategies to solve multiplication / division problems of fractions with mixed numbers.
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… practise and apply the division mental strategy confidently to solve division problems
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… practise and apply the algorithm (column method) to solve multiplication problems with whole numbers and decimals
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… demonstrate our understanding of fraction decimals & percentages in solving number problems
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… demonstrate our understanding of proportion ratio in solving number problems
    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… perform the written form of numeral-expression with power of 10 in scientific notation
