    Literal: This whakatauki refers to the need for creative thinking, adaptability and perseverance. In order to solve a problem you need to have all of these.

    Success Criteria:  I can...
    Mathematical Problem Solving

    • Find distance, perimeter, area, and volume.
    • Apply this knowledge in a real-life context, such as various sports fields, tracks, and sites of the Olympics.
    • Read a scale and interpret real-life distances.

    Class Activities:   Perimeter

    Kia ora,

    Welcome back! This term, our main focus will be on learning measurement and scale concepts using the Olympics as our theme. The main topics we will cover are distance, perimeter, area, and volume. We will begin with perimeter. First, we will review the concepts and then solve some problem-solving questions related to Olympic sports.

     

    Session 1: Introduction to the Olympics and its connection to math, perimeter-specific vocabulary, perimeter activity.
    Session 2: Continue with the activity.
    Session 3: Problem-solving activity.


    1. Complete Numeracy Ninja Do Now challenge.
    2.  Record and underline the short date with a ruler and record the session's Learning Intention at the front of your maths exercise books.  Please write in pencil, and rule/underline and mark with red pen. 
    3. After class discussion, complete the activity.

    Fast finishers can work on their  Maths Buddy reinforcement activities.







    Homework:   

    Maths Buddy is your priority for your at-home practice. Please complete your set homework tasks by Friday at 9:30am (Forest's homework routine has now changed to 'Due on Fridays & re-issued on Fridays' to allow you more time).  If you have completed your assigned activities please do extra practice on your 'Ludi'  timetables programme and complete your Numeracy Certificate tasks. 

    Here's my suggestion re: how to effectively distribute your weekly homework responsibilities this week...

    Mondays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks and 1 x See Reader
