Term 1: Week 7

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.
  
  

We shall look forward to our trip to the Stardome Observatory on Wednesday this week, to support our  'Matariki Maths' Number and Statistics learning focus. 

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.

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 (continued), equivalent fractions
Practice = Equivalent fractions,  AWS L5, Task 30 
Investigation = Complete Ludi basic facts test, and Matariki Bar Challenge continued, for Fibonacci. 

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.
