    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING… on using place-value partitioning (chunking) mental strategy to develop the confidence and mental skills to solve division problems.
    • We are FOCUSING… on using long/short division working strategy to develop the confidence and computational skills to solve division problems, including those with remainders.
    • We are FOCUSING... on simplifying mathematical expressions or equations with variables, such as adding / subtracting like terms.
    • We are FOCUSING... on simplifying mathematical expressions or equations with variables, such as multiplying expressions.
    • We are FOCUSING... on simplifying mathematical expressions or equations with variables, such as expanding simple expressions with brackets.


    Success Criteria: Students can/have...

    • use long/short (column method) working strategy to solve multiplication problems
    • solve division problems using basic fact knowledge; e.g. times table
    • use long/short (column method) working strategy to solve multiplication problems with remainders
    • add and subtract like terms with variables in algebraic expression / equations
    • multiply algebraic expressions with variables, including expansion of brackets
