    Wänanga: The 5 Cs

    Welcome back 7F2! This term, our main focus is learning various concepts using the Olympics context. The main areas we will be covering are fractions, decimals, ratios, geometry, measurement, and statistics. We will start with decimals. First, we will understand the concepts and then will solve some problem-solving questions related to sports of the Olympic Games.



    Authentic Outcomes:  'Designing an Olympic Medal' competition then fabricating the winning design on the school laser cutter (acrylic).

    Theme: Seek out your heart's desires.
    Whakatauki: "Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me maunga teitei"
    Metaphorical: Seek out your heart's desire, though if you have to relent, let it be to a lofty mountain.
    Literal: This whakatauki (proverb) speaks to the importance of aiming high and being persistent and tenacious about reaching your goal/s.

    Success Criteria:  I can...
    Measurement & Geometry


    • Calculate circumference of a circle
    • Read a scale and interpret real life distances
    • Measure and calculate speed/distance and time
    • Use appropriate metric units and tools to measure a specific event
    • Find the difference in time, distance and speed when data is given in decimal, fraction and ratios


    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) 
    • Use the graphing skills to choose the best graph to display the data


    Do Now: 
    Students will complete their Numeracy Ninja 'Do Now' Task.  Mark as a class





    Class Activities:   Circle

    This week we will be learning to calculate the area of a circle and volume of a cylinder. 

    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.
    Session 1: Area of a Circle
    Session 2: Area of a Circle Continued.
    Session 3: Volume of a Cylinder
    5. After teacher's modelling, start 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
    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
