Term 3

Week 4: WALT - Develop our math flexibility through number sense instruction.

Success Criteria: I am successful when I

  • Can demonstrate visually and numerically multiple ways of solving a problem.
  • Communicate my thinking to my peers, class and teacher.
  • Use resilience to push through the difficult problems. I break them down into manageable steps that are clear and understandable.

Math Whizz

Your aim each week is to achieve at least 4 progressions.

Revision - Many of you forgot how to work through 'whole unknown' problems. Watch the video. Make up questions for peers. Challenge each other.

Whole unknown problems

Learning Tasks

Make a copy. Save in Maths folder. Work through the set tasks.

Rewindable Resource

Watch this video if you need extra support.

Extension

Create a digital learning object that showcases the key ideas learnt this week.

Create 2 word problems for a peer to solve (Make sure you know the answer).

Post to your blog, discuss whether you feel this strategy would be efficient as opposed to using long division to solve similar problems?

Do you relate to the students within this video?

Math shouldn't be the enemy. Math should be about team work. It should be about building multiple ways to solve a problem. Math should be visual, creative & encouraging!

Growing Our Brain

When you learn something new, a pathway forms in your brain. When you re-visit an idea, and think about it more deeply, the pathway becomes stronger.

No-one is ever born with a math brain.
