  • EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING number operations in context to support Stage One of our MHJC Numeracy Certificate
    • We are EXPLORING angles and their properties
    • We are EXPLORING, selecting and defining angle types, and classifying angles
    • We are EXPLORING how to calculate angles on a straight line
    • We are EXPLORING 3D shapes and constructing nets using geometric equipment
    • We are MEASURING and converting mm to centimetres to meters and kilometres
    • We are CALCULATING areas of squares and triangles
    • We are CALCULATING volumes of cubes and rectangles
    • We are DISCOVERING which graph is best to display different STEM FAIR data sets
    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are APPLYING number operations to complete Stage One of our Numeracy Certificate


    Authentic Outcomes:  Science Fair and ‘Taonga of Aotearoa’ weaving/print-making exhibition.
    Theme: The importance of land/sustainability 
    Whakatauki: "Whatungarongaro te tangata, toitū te whenua."
    Metaphorical: As people disappear from sight, the land remains. 
    Literal: This whakatauki speaks to the importance and permanence of land. While people come and go, the land remains. As humans we rely on the land. We must think long-term and see the big picture to ensure the sustainability of the land.

    Success Criteria:  I can...
    Measurement & Geometry

    • Identify and convert between units of measurement.
    • Calculate perimeter, area and volume.
    • Measure an angle using a protractor (sharp shoot over the vertex, ensure the horizontal line of the protractor is aligned correctly, read from zero)
    • Name the types and properties of acute, right, obtuse & reflex angles 
    • Name types of triangles
    • Name 3D shapes
    • Identify and convert units of length (mm, cm, m & km), mass (mg, g, kg, T) and capacity (mL, L, kL)

    Statistics
     • Organise data onto a frequency table
    • Identify the 'x' and 'y' axis to accurately plot data onto graphs  
    • Apply the     TAILS acron    ym to display data effectively
     • Interpret graphs (line graphs, bar and dot plots)
     • Calculate averages (mean, median, mode and range)


    Class Activities:   Number 

    Kia ora everyone,

    This week, we will begin by reviewing different types of angles and their properties. We will explore measuring and drawing angles. You will need your protractor for this. 

    Session 1: Identify angles around you. Write your first name in CAPITAL letters. Highlight  and name different angles in your name. Find five objects around you that show acute, obtuse, right, and straight angles. Write them under each heading. 
    Session 2: Easttle
    Session 3: Measuring and drawing angles. 


    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. Ensure to draw the red line, write date and activity title.
    4. Ensure to write WALT.
    5. After teacher's modeling, start the activity "Identify the angles".
    6. After teacher's modeling, complete the activity "Measuring and drawing angles". 

    8. Working with the teacher:
    -Monday: Kauri
    -Tuesday: Rimu
    -Thursday: Totara

    Fast finishers can work on their  Maths Buddy reinforcement activities.
    9.  Mark exercise bookwork, in groups. 
    10.  Reflect on your understanding and effort, in your ' Maths Evaluation '. 






    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
    Tuesdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks and 1 x See Reader
    Wednesdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks, 1 x See Reader during Wananga Wednesday and 1 x iBalance plus 1 x Read Around at home
    Thursdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Task, 1 x See Reader
