Term 1 Week 6

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING...number strategies by investigating a range of additive and multiplicative strategies.
• We are EXPLORING...number strategies by investigating a range of multiplication and division facts.

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• use different strategies to solve multiplication problems
• work in a group to solve various maths problems
• choose the right mathematical strategy needed to solve a problem
• confidently solve maths problems that involve decimals
• identify equivalent fractions
• convert between equivalent fractions
• calculate the lowest common multiple
• add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators
  
• multiply fractions with like and unlike denominators

Activities:

Practicing division problems in different contexts: 

- chocolate bars and sharing "chocolate bars" between different numbers of people, what numbers of people can it be split between and everyone gets an equal amount?

- how can we share things between more people? Change the choc bar design so it can be shared between more people and still have a bit to eat (not a crumb)
