    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING... on the mental strategy "chunking" (or place value partitioning) to develop part-whole thinking skills in order to solve division problems.
    • We are FOCUSING... on long and/or short division working strategy to develop the logical methodology and confidence to solve division problems.
    • We are FOCUSING... reading and analysing a range of different data display methods in statistics (graphs and charts) in order to solve statistics problems; e.g. dot plot, tally chart, strip graph, pictograph, bar graph, stem-and-leaf graph.


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • use the "chunking" mental strategy to work out division problems
    • use long or short division working strategy to work out division problems
    • solve statistics problems that involve a variety of basic graphs, such as: dot plot, strip graph, pictograph, bar graph, stem-and-leaf graph


    Activities:

    • Catch up & review work on the assigned exercises from last week
    • Complete the exercises assigned on Google Classroom, Maths Buddy, Transum and/or BraindPop
    • Continual regular maintenance and practice of Basic Facts Practice on Ludi
    • Quick 20 of Maths Starter questions as a warm-up routine 
    • Types of graphs, compare and contrast, show what they look like and how they are used; Group discussion
    • Using fractions and percentage to solve strip graph (known as bar graph on Maths Buddy, modelling & individual support


    Homework:

    • MathsBuddy to be completed by Thursday night each week.
    • Worksheet/s and learning tasks assigned on Google Classroom.
    • Review or catch up with unfinished class learning tasks.
