Term 1: Week 8

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING Matariki as a rich context for rounding and multiplying/dividing by 10, 100 and 100
• We are EXPLORING Matariki as a rich context for understanding fractions, decimals & percentages in everyday use
• We are EXPLORING Matariki as a rich context for finding fractions, a fraction of a quantity, and equivalent fractions
• We are EXPLORING Matariki as a rich context for writing fractions as decimals, and fractions as %'s, and vice versa.
  
  

I trust that you are all looking forward to Camp Adair this week.  As we have just one mathematics lesson, our groupwork routine will be impacted this week.
