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-IDA004283

This game gives students opportunities to practice subtraction skills and to learn subtraction strategies, including the jump strategy, the split (or partition) strategy, compensation and the count-up to strategy (sometimes called the Shopkeeper’s method).

This game applies students' knowledge of location on a grid and practises directional language. Students develop a strategy to make effective moves, using two dice, counters and a 10 by 10 grid.

• TLF-IDA004321

This game, played in on a grid on the classroom floor, challenges students to develop directional language and use coordinates to locate places on a grid. The instructions include multiple variations on the game which focus on different aspects of location and direction concepts.

• TLF-IDA004330

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 ...

• TLF-IDA004340

This open-ended task challenges students to carry out a mathematical investigation using a ribbon-bow as a stimulus. They are encouraged to develop their own research questions and investigate possible solutions using using mathematical problem solving and modelling strategies.

• TLF-IDA004361

This game challenges students to use their knowledge of place value to add and subtract random numbers in order to meet a target value.

• TLF-IDA004369

This game played in pairs or small groups challenges students to create equations using numbers rolled on ten-sided dice.
