    FOCUS / ARONGA

    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.


    Success Criteria:
    I can/have...

    • add and subtract algebraic terms accurately and confidently; such as like terms
    • solve addition and subtraction problems that involve algebraic expressions or equations 
    • multiply algebraic terms or expressions by dealing with the coefficients (numeral parts) first and then the variable (letter parts)
    • identify the patterns in number sequence, geometrical shapes


    Activities:

    • Catch up & review work on the assigned exercises from the previous week
    • Complete the exercises assigned on Google Classroom, Maths Buddy, Transum and/or BraindPop
    • Continual regular maintenance and practice of Basic Facts Practice on Ludi
    • Quick 20 of Maths Starter questions as a warm-up routine


    Homework:

    • MathsBuddy to be completed by Thursday night each week.
    • Worksheet/s and learning tasks assigned on Google Classroom.
    • Review or catch up with unfinished class learning tasks.
