In this lesson, students will create a flowchart outlining the sequence of steps required when using the halving strategy for division. The process of creating the flowchart consolidates the sequential steps required when solving problems and can be found in other learning areas, such as Design and Technologies and Digital ...

The focus of this activity is to discover if students can use numbers to describe a pattern created with objects. We want to encourage students to record what they know about the pattern in a table and then use this information to help predict future terms and identify the rule or function for the pattern. By recording ...

Students revise and extend the recall of 10x. They describe and continue patterns created from multiplication, and solve multiplication and division problems.

• TLF-IDA006126

This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that multiplicative thinking involves flexible use of multiplication and division concepts, strategies and representations. Students are provided opportunities to: identify, describe and apply multiplicative patterns; develop, consolidate and apply derived strategies for multiplication ...

• TLF-IDA006123

This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that fractions represent multiple ideas and can be represented in different ways. Students are provided opportunities to: partition, measure, label and compare lengths and wholes using fractions; solve problems with fractions; represent and compare fractions of measures and quantities; ...

• TLF-IDA006121

This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that our number system extends infinitely to very large and very small numbers. Students are provided opportunities to: partition, represent and order larger numbers; apply place value to recognise, regroup and order whole and decimal numbers; explore the link between multiplicative ...

As a team, use your understanding of geometric reasoning to transform two-dimensional floor plans into three-dimensional pod houses. See how many unique houses you can build for the Moon Goats. Then, try the Budget Challenge to calculate the cost of different types of houses. Mathematical ideas and strategies this game ...
