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 activity explores the properties of the family of functions and their graphs known as parabolas. The unit includes an AMSI Interactive online module, a range of other AMSI Schools and external links and video tutorials and some extension or enrichment ideas to take their understanding further. A short quiz at the end ...

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-IDA004265

In this unit let’s apply index laws to mathematical expressions with integer indices! We’ll learn to express large and small numbers using scientific notation, enter and read scientific notation on a calculator and use index laws to make checks for number accuracy.
