    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on the finances of different political parties by discussing their budgets
    • We are FOCUSING on rates and ratios by investigating the prices of period products

    • I have found a pattern of odd and even numbers in the sequence
    • I can use some notation used in algebra
    • I can recall the order of operations
    • I can substitute into expressions


    Activities:

    • drawing a table including the numbers of the fibonacci sequence and their squares, and finding the patterns it holds
    • finding the pattern in the fibonacci sequence of odd and even numbers and testing it
    • substituting values into expressions
    • solving money and algebra word problems, including calculating how much someone can save based on their income and spending
