    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING... to conceptualise a range of mental strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems.
    • We are EXPLORING... to calculate with positive and negative integers.


    Learning Intentions: We are learning to (WALT)...

    • jump through a tidy number on a number line to solve problems like 17 + ? = 91
    • solve problems like 23 + ? = 71 by jumping up by a tidy number on a number line, then jumping back a small number
    • solve arithmetic problems following the order of operations (brackets, division, multiplication, addition/subtraction)
    • solve directed number addition/subtraction problems that involves positive and negative integers
    • continue to practise our basic facts for accuracy and speed of recall


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • use tidy-jump mental strategy to mentally solve addition and subtraction problems
    • show the steps and working of the tidy-jump strategy to logically explain the mathematical process to the solution 
    • add and subtract positive and negative integers confidently and accurately
    • show consistent progress or maintain the ability of basic facts' accuracy and speed of recall
