This unit introduces the calculation of simple interest, as a starter for learning about compound interest. Students learn about a range of ways in which interest generally is used and applied in the real world and then use the formula for calculating simple interest to solve borrowing, saving and investment problems.

What makes even numbers special? What makes odd numbers… well… odd? Help these farmers plant their fruit trees in rows and patterns, and see what happens when we add, subtract and multiply different combinations of these numbers together! Use this low threshold, high ceiling task to explore the properties of even and odd numbers.

This activity allows students to develop an understanding of decimals and how they connect to fractions and the area model. It enables them to make comparisons between decimals and their sizes and build a greater understanding of what makes a larger decimal and smaller decimal. The decimats provide them with a representational ...
