Learning goals
- We are learning to model problems involving addition and subtraction, including simple whole-dollar money problems, in practical role-play situations.
- We are learning to use a range of strategies, to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
- We are learning to read, write, model and represent numbers to 100 in different ways and on number lines.
- We are learning to recognise Australian coins according to their value.
