Thinking mathematically learning sequences

Detailed programs offering a two week unit of work that builds student skills.

Thinking mathematically 1

This sequence of learning provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of early number sense in the context of games and investigations. Students will explore quantities, additive situations and various forms of patterning.

Thinking mathematically 2

This sequence of learning provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of early number sense through tight, targeted teaching and opportunities to apply skills (contexts for enriching learning such as games and investigations). Students will explore the flexibility of numbers whilst also exploring patterns, multiplicative thinking and aspects of measurement.

Thinking mathematically 3

This sequence of lessons provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of early number knowledge through tight, targeted teaching and opportunities to apply skills (contexts for enriching learning such as games and investigations). Students will explore the flexibility of numbers and operations whilst also exploring patterns and aspects of measurement. These tasks are designed to support learning in these areas through Working Mathematically.
