This month we've spent some time learning how to read a clock! We've also looked at the different ways to write the date (3/8/26 & March 8th 2026).
Then we moved into area and learning about square units. Multiplication facts will help with this as well as having a good sense of centimeters and meters.
Outcomes we've covered so far this year:
N1 - Represent and describe whole numbers to 10 000, concretely, pictorially, and symbolically.
N2 - Compare and order numbers to 10 000.
N3 – Demonstrate an understanding of addition of numbers with answers to 10 000 and their corresponding subtractions (limited to 3 and 4-digit numerals).
N4 - Explain the properties of 0 and 1 for multiplication and the property of 1 for division.
N5 - Describe and apply mental mathematics strategies, such as: skip counting from a known fact, using doubling or halving, using doubling or halving and adding or subtracting one more group, and using patterns in the 9s facts to determine basic multiplication facts to 9 x 9 and related division facts.
N6 - Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication (2- or 3-digit by 1-digit) to solve problems by: using personal strategies for multiplication with and without concrete materials; using arrays to represent multiplication; and, connecting concrete representation to symbolic representations and estimating products.
N7 - Demonstrate an understanding of division (1-digit divisor and up to 2-digit dividend) to solve problems by using personal strategies for dividing with and without concrete materials, estimating quotients, and relating division to multiplication.
N8 - Demonstrate an understanding of fractions less than or equal to one using concrete and pictorial representations to name & record fractions for the parts of a whole or set, compare & order fractions, model & explain that for different wholes, two identical fractions may not represent the same quantity & provide examples of where fractions are used.
N9 - Describe and represent decimals (tenths and hundredths) concretely, pictorially, and symbolically.
N10 - Relate decimals to fractions (to hundredths).
N11 – Demonstrate an understanding of addition and subtraction of decimals (limited to hundredths) by: using compatible numbers; estimating sums and differences; using mental math strategies to solve problems.
