Term 1: Week 6

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.
  
  

Welcome back to school everyone!  This week we continue our 'Matariki Maths' Number and Statistics activities. For Number, we will be introducing ourselves to fractions, and for Statistics we will be developing our skills when reading and evaluating Matariki bar graphs. 

Whakataukī: “He waka eke noa!”
Metaphorical: A waka we are all in together. We rise together, fall together, work together and keep going together!
Literal: Working in unity and leaving no-one behind.

Authentic Outcomes:  Matariki, Stardome Observatory and Camp Adair.

Success Criteria:  I can...

• Multiple decimals by 10, 100 & 1000
• Understand 'what is a fraction?' and write fractions as a number eg. two thirds = 2/3
• Identify the numerator and denominator 
• Calculate equivalent fractions
• Calculate a fraction of a quantity

Do Now:  Numeracy Ninjas
Mental Strategies, Timetables and Key Skills revision. 

Class Activities:   Number & Statistics

1.  Students will sit in their Maths Groups to complete a Teacher-focus session (T), follow-up practice activity (P) and a context-based investigation (I). 

2.  Fibonacci, Newton and Pythagoras groups complete 7F1's class rotation across their 3 lessons:

Teacher Instruction = easTTLe consol report into exercise books, intro to fractions
Practice = Introduction to Fractions,  AWS L3, Task 23, & Working with Fractions (finding fractions of a quantity) Task 24. 
Investigation = Matariki Bar Challenge continued, for Fibonacci & Newton. 

3.  Continue focus on learning to read a easTTLe console report to diagnose learning 'gaps' and 'next steps'...

Homework:   
Please complete your differentiated Maths Buddy homework tasks by Sunday evening.  If you have completed your assigned activities please do extra practice on your Ludi timetables programme.
