Learning goals
- 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 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.
- We are learning to compare and order numbers with more than two decimal places and represent decimal numbers including numbers greater than 1, e.g. 1.68cm, on number lines.
- We are learning to compare, order and represent decimals on number lines.
- We are learning to solve practical problems involving natural and rational numbers and percentages in financial contexts.
- We are learning to create simple financial plans, e.g. a simple budget or identifying the GST on invoices and receipts.
