Term 1: Week 3

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the Solar System and Matariki as rich contexts for understanding place value
• We are EXPLORING the Solar System and Matariki as rich contexts for reading and writing large numbers
• We are EXPLORING the Solar System and Matariki as rich contexts for rounding and multiplying/dividing by 10, 100 and 100
  
  

Kia ora 7F2.  This week we continue to explore Number through our context,  ‘Tūrangawaewae - Where do we stand?'  by looking at very large numbers that can be associated with the Solar System.  Next week we will start to explore Matariki (the Māori New Year) through a 'Statistics lens' (interpreting 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.
