    • 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.

    Kia ora 7F2,


    I am certainly looking forward to Camp Adair this week.  As we have just one mathematics lesson, our groupwork routine will be impacted this week.   


    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...
    • Round numbers to 3dp
    • 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
    • Read and evaluate information presented in bar graphs
     • Recall my basic + , - , x and ➗ facts

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


    Class Activities:   Number & Statistics

    1.  Students will complete their Numeracy Ninja + Ludi Speed Test tasks.

    2.  Groups will complete marking from last session with the Teacher. 

    2.  Fast finishers can complete their current or overdue Maths Buddy tasks. 

    Homework:   
    You have a reduced homework allocation this week due to attending Camp Adair.  Thank you for completing your one 'Weekly Revision' task.  The aim of this is to keep revising your use of strands beyond Number and Algebra to maintain past learning eg Geometry & Measurements, + Statistics & Probability.
