Beginning our inquiry

As part of our statistical investigation unit, students have been asked to complete the census at the following link:

registration code: 59614

There are a number of questions for them to answer, which they will later base their statistical inquiry on.

Term 3 - Algebra

WALT Form and solve linear equations

Patterns and Relationships

WALT Generalise properties of multiplication and division with whole numbers
WALT Use graphs, tables and rules to describe linear relationships in patterns

Term 1 - Add/Sub and Geometry

WALT Use a Variety of strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems

(work in progress)

In our learning communities we have been working together to build an understanding of multiple strategies to help us to work out math problems. Here are some examples of the work we have done together so far! We are still learning this process, so sometimes we don't get to all of the questions but we are all stepping out of our comfort zone to share our strategies with one another - making sure to listen when other people share and ask questions if we don't understand!

WALT: Identify ways of working effectively as a team

Together, we discussed how we will ensure we work effectively as a team

WALT Identify attributes of a mathematician

Teamwork in Room 12

WALT: Understand the maths as inquiry (MAI) process

This week in class, we began looking at our maths as inquiry unit! We learned about how we can work well as a team to help each other in our maths learning and how we can all become great mathematicians.
