The aim of this task is to provide a rich, contextual activity through which students can begin to explore the addition and subtraction of one- and two-digit of numbers in everyday contexts.

• TLF-IDA004372

This integrated unit of work explores the amazing structures of honeycomb by examining the properties of regular and irregular polygons and polyhedra. Students then move on to solve problems using geometric and algebraic reasoning.

• TLF-IDA003559

This guide supports teachers to develop students’ understanding, skills and processes related to probability and statistics.

• TLF-IDA003587

Use this diagnostic task to assess a student's understanding of mass and the graduations on a kitchen scale.

• TLF-IDA004272

This activity challenges students to continue a number sequence from any starting point. Using counters or other physical materials to create the number sequence prior to recording may help students, as they will be able to see what the number pattern looks like.

This activity aims to improve student fluency in mentally multiplying and dividing numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.

• TLF-IDA004263

In this unit let’s investigate terminating and recurring decimals. We’ll learn how to use the correct mathematical symbols for recurring (repeating) decimals, how to convert fractions into terminating or recurring decimals and how to interpret these numbers on a calculator.

• TLF-IDA004279

This activity provides students with an opportunity to partition numbers in different ways. Partitioning is an important concept as it allows numbers to be broken up so that they’re easier to use.
