Middle Primary Deskmat
This visually engaging desk mat serves as an easy reference tool for students, aiding them with basic number and algebra concepts. Additionally, a set of desk mats, including the 'Number Essentials' mat, provides primary school students with quick access to essential maths concepts. The 'Number Essentials' mat features a 10 by 10 grid, fact families, place value chart, odd and even number generalisations, and a fraction wall. These mats can be laminated for multiple uses and kept in student desks or in an easy-to-access spot for students to grab when needed. They are valuable references for both students and teachers and are considered must-haves for any primary school classroom.

Learning goals
- We are learning to identify which metric units are used to measure items and to make estimates using known units.
- We are learning to measure and compare objects and events using length, mass and capacity and use instruments with labelled markings, e.g. measuring tape, ruler.
- We are learning to identify angles using quarter, half and three-quarter turns and comparing them to right angles, e.g. a quarter turn is the same as a right angle.
- We are learning to estimate and compare angles using angle names including acute, obtuse, straight angle, reflex and revolution and recognise their relationship to a right angle.
- We are learning to use simple scales, legends and directions to interpret grid reference systems to locate and describe positions and pathways.
- We are learning to choose appropriate units of measurement for length, mass and capacity of objects, e.g. kilometres to measure the distance between two towns.
- We are learning to recognise and read the time represented on analog and digital clocks to the nearest minute.
- We are learning to estimate and compare the duration of events using days, hours, minutes and seconds.
- We are learning to explain and use the properties of odd and even numbers.
- We are learning to recall multiplication facts for 3, 4, 5 and 10 and apply this to related division facts.
- We are learning to compare and order fractions and mixed numerals using knowledge of factors and multiples and represent them on a number line.
- We are learning to recognise 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/10 and their multiples to a complete whole and fractions of groups in different ways.
- We are learning to count in fractions on a number line, represent and locate fractions on number lines and convert mixed numerals into improper fractions and vice versa.
- We are learning to recognise and extend place value to tenths and hundredths use decimal notation to name and represent decimals.
- We are learning to recall multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 and related division facts, developing efficient mental strategies.
