Space Race is a simple board game that teachers can use to introduce the concept of algorithmic sequencing to students. The teaching points provided with the game assist teachers to introduce the use of an algorithm (a simple set of mathematical instructions) to describe the trajectory of an object across a grid plane from ...

The focus of this activity is to discover what it is that students know about 2D shapes and 3D objects.

• TLF-IDA004316

The focus of this activity is for students demonstrate a systematic approach to trialing and recording possible solutions. Students are encouraged to explain the method they used, compare solutions and prove they have found all the possible solutions.

• TLF-IDA004260

These activities focus on developing skills in estimation and rounding. Estimation can help children to make reasonable guesses at solutions and check the accuracy of their calculations.

• TLF-IDA004256

This unit investigates prime and composite numbers. Prime numbers are the elements of number system. Combining primes together by multiplication gives us all of the other whole numbers, just as combining atoms of different elements gives us the molecules and compounds of the physical world.

This unit investigates the idea of problem solving in the year 6 classroom. By the end of Year 6 students should be able to solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division or any combination of these processes. They should have a variety of problem-solving strategies in their repertoire, both ...

• TLF-IDA004257

In this activity, students examine the representation of patterns, including as diagrams, charts and formulas.

• TLF-IDA004293

This activity is designed to encourage students to engage with a problem, before they overthink it. Too often in class we begin with what is familiar to students and gradually increase the challenge. This problem begins with a challenge and encourages students to work backwards to solve a simpler problem, before applying ...

This lesson provides an authentic context to develop skills of estimation and measuring length. It provides an opportunity for students to connect decimal representations to the metric system and convert from centimetres to metres, and metres to kilometres. It also provides a context to investigate and become familiar with ...
