In this lesson we use the context of an ancient bazaar to investigate measurement systems. Students select a name and base number for their system of measurement, using weights made from clay or similar material. They divide their clay into possible unit fractions to generate their set of weights. They assign a fictional ...
Students compare and order three-digit numbers using number lines.
This comprehensive resource describes the progression of number-related ideas showing the relationship to other curriculum strands. The resource demonstrates examples of relevant teaching strategies, investigations, activity plans and connected concepts in number including teaching and cultural implications.
Students demonstrate knowledge of fractions through creating their very own simulated ‘fruit salad’. Pose the questions: if you were to create a fruit salad what would it have in there? In what ratios/proportions? Are there any fruits you wouldn’t want in there? Which fruits go/don’t go together? Showcase your understanding ...
In this lesson, students explore standardised measuring systems. They encounter the challenge of a shopkeeper who must determine how to weigh different quantities of spices most efficiently. Working in a financial context, students model this scenario using fractions, percentages and ratios, and communicate their solution ...
Students investigate the relative position of numbers by modelling fractional numbers between whole numbers. They represent linear models of fractions along number lines and use these models to count and solve simple fraction addition problems.
In this lesson, students use mathematical modelling in measurement (comparing and evaluating sports results) to explain equivalence between fractions, decimals and percentages, and represent rational numbers on a number line.
Students develop an understanding of the proportion and relationships between fractions. They represent fractions using linear models and symbols and form a generalisation about fractions equivalent to one whole.
In this lesson, we use fruit to explore common/decimal fractions relating to tenths. Students will use coloured Unifix cubes to represent tenths of a fraction on a ‘fruit kebab’. They will discover the idea of equivalent fractions and make connections using a fraction wall. The lesson uses interactive activities, discussions ...
Students position positive and negative whole numbers on a number line.
The content of this book is organised into topics including understanding whole and decimal numbers, and understanding fractional numbers.
The focus of this activity is to find out what students know about different addition strategies.
The focus of this activity is to discover if students can interpret information in a table and use fractions (with the same denominator) to represent different amounts. We want to encourage students to use what they know about to interpret the information in the table before applying their understanding of fractions.
This game, played in pairs with a of dominoes, challenges students to create fractions and compare their values. The player with the higher value fraction wins each round and the associated domino. The game is played until one player owns all the dominoes.
The focus of this activity is to find out what students know about addition of decimals and what are some of the different strategies students are able to use and explain. Do students prefer to use equations or do students rely more on empty number lines?
This learning object helps students to explore the history of currency including bartering, the development of cash systems, and the arrival of cards and ATMs, both in Australia and around the world. It provides an interactive time line which spans the development of currency around the globe from 9000BCE to today, and ...
This resource is two interrelated activities about distinguishing between needs and wants and shopping for best value. The first level shows Flynn, a young child who needs various items for school. Users choose the clothing and personal items they consider essential. They can swap items and review their choices. The second ...
This is an interactive resource that represents numbers visually as groups of hundreds, tens and units. It can be used to count numbers by partitioning them based on place value, or to represent numbers by building them from grids of hundreds, tens and units. The numerals matching the visual representations can be visible ...
An interactive tool that can help students explore a number line, including points representing integers, fractions and decimals
This is a website designed for both teachers and students that addresses equivalent fractions from the Australian Curriculum for year 7 students. It contains material on equivalent fractions, and explains how equivalence can be demonstrated on the number line. There are pages for both teachers and students. The student ...
