This unit of work focuses on rational numbers. Students define and write recurring non-terminating decimals using dot and vinculum notations; identify fractions that will have terminating or recurring non-terminating decimal expansions using the prime factorisation of the denominator in simplified form; convert between ...

This unit of work focuses on equations. Students solve linear equations involving integers and rational numbers as coefficients and solutions, the unknown on one or both sides of the equation, expanding brackets and simplifying expressions on one or both sides of the equation including verifying solutions; solve pure quadratic ...

This downloadable lesson resource introduces the concept of ‘Number Walks’: taking a stroll with the class or group around the school or the local neighbourhood. Guided by the teacher, students note down anything they see that relates back to their understanding of the topic and then conduct a plenary session back in the ...

• TLF-IDA004294

The focus of this activity is to discover if students can represent numbers, without the need to count from 1. If students ‘trust the count’ from here they will be able to use strategies to combine collections. If students do not ‘trust the count’ they may be able to combine two collections by counting by ones, but this ...

This sequence of 6 tasks explores relationships between numbers 1 to 20 through subitising, comparison, and using 5 and 10 as benchmarks. Students organise collections and use subitisable patterns to help count the total in their collection. Students also compare their collection with a friend to see who has more and who ...

This unit of work focuses on Pythagoras' theorem. Students define and identify the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle as being the longest side and opposite the right angle and the perpendicular sides as being the shorter two sides and adjacent to the right angle; define Pythagoras' theorem in words and symbols; use ...

• TLF-IDA004269

In this unit, let's investigate irrational numbers! We'll look at some examples of commonly used irrational numbers such as Pi (π), the 'Golden Ratio' and the natural logarithm 'e', and explore where irrational numbers have applications in the real world

• TLF-IDA004300

The focus of this activity is to discover what students know about coins and money. Some students will be familiar with coins and will have no trouble sharing their knowledge. Other students will have had limited exposure to money and what it looks like and how it is used.

This quick game encourages students to use their fingers to model numbers in different ways.

• TLF-IDA004143

This unit of work focuses on rates and ratio. Students define, recognise, represent, and find equivalent, simplified, and unit ratios and rates; convert between rate units; determine and use the multipliers between parts of the same ratio or rate and across equivalent ratios and rates.
