    EXPLORE / TŪHURA 

    Learning Intentions: 

    • We are EXPLORING numbers and operations so that we connect numbers to daily life, objects and incidents
    • We are EXPLORING place value so that we can conceptualise number in a meaningful way
    • We are EXPLORING the difference between digits and numbers so that we classify them
    • We are EXPLORING numbers and operations o that we can recognise the practical application of number and number sense

      




    Activities: 

    • mind mapping of Mathematics in relation to the world
    • history background of our based-10 (decimal) number system
    • reading and understanding whole numbers
    • brainstorm existing ideas of mathematics learnt over the years
    • challenge ourselves to link everything in the world to math
    • explore the origin and background story of our number system, i.e. the logic behind our current Arabic numerals
    • explain the meaning of digits in any whole number
    • revise the place value
    • explore numbers
    • make sensible estimates and check the reasonability of answers


    Success Criteria: 

    • explore the place value system and the value of digits
    • understand estimation using rounding
    • understand numbers on a number line including the place of fractional numbers
