    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING finding and using a rule to make predictions
    • We are EXPLORING interpreting algebraic vocabulary and conventions
    • We are EXPLORING like terms through using physical quantities to conceptualise the idea
    • We are EXPLORING collecting and adding like terms to simplify algebraic expressions


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Continue a spatial/geometric pattern, make up and use a rule to describe the sequence
    • Use a rule to make predictions
    • Understand algebraic vocabulary and conventions
    • Identify like terms
    • Add and subtract simple like terms 
    • Write sums as products in Algebraic form
