Term 4 Week 9

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING... like terms in algebra so that we can identify similar like terms in an equation and then solve addition and/or subtraction in algebraic expressions.
• We are FOCUSING... algebraic indices so that we can multiply and divide algebraic terms and then solve equations step by step and explain them, either via expanding or factorising.
• We are FOCUSING... indices with exponential powers in algebra so that we can develop the concepts and methods of solving algebraic terms with powers inside and outside brackets.
• We are FOCUSING... probability in statistics so that we can compare the chance of different outcomes and accurately or systematically explain the likelihood of each of them.

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING... algebraic concepts so that we can observe patterns in number sequence, geometrical shapes, and repeating diagrams and meaningfully connect these to real-life situations in our world. in a meaningful way.
• We are EXPLORING... properties of algebraic expressions so that we can recognise the parts and forms of algebraic terms, such as the co-efficient (numeral part), the variable (letter part), and the exponents.
• We are EXPLORING... probability so that we can investigate and find the likelihood or chance of a range of different scenarios and outcomes.
