Term 2: Week 2
Section outline
-

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:
- We are EXPLORING Matariki & Camp Adair as rich contexts for adding and simplifying fractions
- We are EXPLORING Matariki & Camp Adair as rich contexts for writing fractions as decimals, and fractions as %'s, and vice versa.
Again this week we will only have 2 sessions together as Thursday is Teachers only day!
A good use of this day would be to focus on your Maths Buddy tasks and the fractions learning tasks on MHO from last term.
