Term 2 Week 2

Context:

MHJC Learning Framework Step:

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING... on a range of mental strategies to develop part-whole thinking skills in order to solve addition and subtraction problems.
• We are FOCUSING... on Tidy Jump mental strategy to develop the confidence and mental skills to solve addition and subtraction problems.
• We are FOCUSING... on Rounding & Compensation mental strategy to develop the confidence and mental skills to solve addition and subtraction problems.
• We are FOCUSING... on integers (positive and negative numbers) integers in order to solve directed numbers operations (add/subtract/multiply/divide).

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

• round up a number to a tidy number to make it easy to add or subtract 
• compensate (put back or take away) the rounded-up amount
• solve arithmetic problems following the order of operations (brackets, division, multiplication, addition/subtraction)
• solve directed number multiplication/division 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 rounding-and-compensation mental strategy to mentally solve addition and subtraction problems
• show the steps and working of the rounding-and-compensation strategy to logically explain the mathematical process to the solution 
• multiply and divide positive and negative integers confidently and accurately
• show consistent progress or maintain the ability of basic facts' accuracy and speed of recall
