    We will be learning about numbers and operations this term. Our Whanau context for this term is the evolving community and we will link what we learn to the context by learning how might we use numbers in our community.

    We will start by revising place value and rounding numbers.

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA 

    Learning Intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING numbers and operations so that we connect numbers to daily life, objects and incidents
    • We are EXPLORING place value so that we can conceptualise number in a meaningful way
    • We are EXPLORING the difference between digits and numbers so that we classify them
    • We are EXPLORING numbers and operations o that we can recognise the practical application of number and number sense

      

    Context:



    MHJC Learning Framework Step:

    • Explore (Setting the scene)


    Activities:

    • Mind mapping of Mathematics in relation to the world
    • History background of our based-10 (decimal) number system.
    • Reading and understanding whole numbers.


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

    • brainstorm existing ideas of mathematics learnt over the years
    • challenge ourselves to link everything in the world to math
    • explore the origin and background story of our number system, i.e. the logic behind our current Arabic numerals
    • explain the meaning of digits in any whole number
    • revise the place value
    • explore numbers
    • make sensible estimates and check the reasonability of answers


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • explore the place value system and the value of digits
    • understand estimation using rounding
    • understand numbers on a number line including the place of fractional numbers
