Learning goals

  • We are learning that bare assertions (a claim of fact without supporting evidence) must take into account different points of view.
  • We are learning to understand how noun groups/phrases and adjective groups/phrases are expanded to provide a fuller description, e.g. this very smelly cleaning cloth in the sink (noun group/phrase), as pretty as the flowers in May (adjective group/phrase).
  • We are learning to understand how noun groups/phrases and adjective groups/phrases are expanded to provide a fuller description, e.g. this very smelly cleaning cloth in the sink (noun group/phrase), as pretty as the flowers in May (adjective group/phrase).
  • We are learning to identify social, cultural and historical contexts portrayed within literary texts.
  • We are learning to identify social, cultural and historical contexts portrayed within literary texts.
  • We are learning to use appropriate interaction skills, e.g. paraphrasing and to appropriately check our understanding in formal and informal situations, e.g. making constructive comments, asking questions and justifying a point of view.
  • We are learning to appropriately check our understanding in formal and informal situations, e.g. making constructive comments, asking questions and justifying a point of view.
  • We are learning to estimate the quantity of objects in collections and when solving problems.
  • We are learning to use estimation and rounding to check and explain calculations including transactions involving money.
  • We are learning to check and explain the reasonableness of solutions to problems including money using appropriate estimation strategies.
  • We are learning to use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers to calculations.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving multiplication of large numbers by 1- or 2-digit numbers using efficient mental or written strategies and appropriate digital technologies, e.g. arrays.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving multiplication of large numbers by one or two-digit numbers using efficient mental or written strategies and appropriate digital technologies, e.g. area model, arrays and Italian Lattice Method.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving division using different strategies and express answers as a whole number, decimal or fraction.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving division by a one digit number, including those that result in remainders.
  • We are learning to solve practical problems involving addition and multiplication and choosing operations and efficient calculation strategies to solve the problem.
  • We are learning to use efficient mental and written strategies and calculators to solve problems.
