Numeracy

In Term 2 the Level 1 and 2 students will continue to use Top Ten Maths, having opportunities to use hands on manipulatives and be immersed in real world examples. Furthermore, every task is designed to have an enabling and extension element to ensure that the learning intention is achievable for all students. Below are the topics each level will be covering this term. 

Level 1 Topics

• Graphing
• Length
• Addition - Counting on, Partitioning, 10's Facts
• Money - Coin and Note values
• Subtraction - Physical take away, One Less, Counting Back
• Time - Calendars, Analogue Time

Level 2 Topics

• Graphing
• Addition - Partitioning, 10's facts, Doubles, Near Doubles, Building to 10
• Money
• Subtraction - Counting Back, backwards 10's Facts, backwards Doubles
• Time - Analogue Time, Seasons, Calendars

Level 1/2 Problem Solving Tasks

Again this term, students will have the opportunity to apply their own perspective and knowledge to various mathematical problems. Using a narrative link and/or a real world connection, are how students are engaged with these problems. Drawing a mathematical picture and making a model are time efficient strategies to help students solve these tasks, and they will be explicitly taught to the students this term.

Here is a problem solving task to have a go at with your child at home!

The answer to a subtraction problem is 5. Show as many ways as you can, where the answer is 5.

Need some help? - Enabling prompt
