Maths Strategies
Currently in class we are learning a variety of strategies that can be used to solve mathematical equations. Using a maths strategies builds students number knowledge of how numbers are made up. By having a range of strategies such as number lines, place value and tidy numbers, students can apply a strategy that suits the problem.
Rounding and Compensating - Addition
48 + 37 = ? Round the two values to the nearest tidy number 48 + 2 = 50 and 37 + 3 = 40 Add the numbers together 50 + 40 = 90 Now we need to subtract the extra we added 90 - 2 - 3 = 85 Place Value - Addition
37 + 42 = ? Adding using place value Add the matching place value together separately: Tens and Tens, Ones and Ones Then add the two answers together. 30 + 40 = 70 7 + 2 = 9 70 + 9 = 79 |
Place Value - Subtraction
57 - 34 = ? Subtract using place value Subtract the matching place value together separately: Tens and Tens, Ones and Ones Then add the ones and the tens 50 - 30 = 20 7 - 4 = 3 20 + 3 = 17 |
Number lines - Addition
39 + 33 = ? Start at the number you are adding: 39. To make it easier to add lets round 39 up to 40 by adding 1. Now lets add the tens column, + 30 Now add the remaining ones, +2 Which equals 72. 39 + 33 = ? 39 + 1 = 40 40 + 30 = 70 70 + 2 = 72 |
Number Lines - Subtraction
53 - 38 = ? Always start with the highest number: 53 Subtract the highest place value first: Tens - 30 You can subtract a ten at a time if you want: 53 - 10 - 10 - 10 = 23 Apply part-whole thinking and split the 8 into easily subtracted numbers Subtract 3 from 23 to make a tidy number: 20 Now subtract the remaining 5: 20 - 5 = 15 53 - 38 = ? 53 - 30 = 23 23 - 3 = 20 20 - 5 = 15 |

One Voice - New Class SongOne Voice – By Nakita Turner
There's a girl I see that she's hurting I'm sure she's hiding scar's Do they only know me when they need me It pulls her shoulders down There's a boy, he carries a great weight He is often pushed to the ground And he cries when no one is watching And pain shows in his eyes Chorus: One voice can make a difference One voice can make it right One voice can change the world One voice can make it better One voice can heal the pain One voice can change the world Do they know all the pain that it’s causing? Forcing people to run and hide With the words that are filled up with poison And threats that bring us fear I know that you've had it hard too But you don't have to go down this way All your pain can stop if you make a change Chorus: Rap: Yeah there’s so much needs that need to be meet, as one voice we gonna say what needs to be said, it's like we need a needle and thread to bring us back to our knees once again and hopefully realise so many real lives are being mistreated by those mis-leaded yes this is needed, way more than ever, I've got one voice but more would be better (more would be better) yeah so let's make one choice and let's all come together. Bridge: Our voice, our voice what's the most important thing? x3 It's the people Chorus: x3 |
