  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on using algebra skills to describe patterns and relationships relating to commonwealth team scores


    Success Criteria: I can/have:

    • Graph the relationship between two teams scores 
    • Solve "think of a number" problems
    • Make a "think of a number" problem
    • Identify when things can be taken from both sides of an equation while maintaining equality
    • Use the start of patterns to continue them
    • Use patterns to create rules for them


    Activities:

    - Commonwealth algebra: solving problems in groups where we don't know the scores that teams started with: different operations are performed on this unknown amount of points and then we are told the final points. How many points did the teams start with?

    - looking at patterns of shapes and learning how to describe the rules associated with them
