Term 2, Week 3 - All students will have their own hundreds

point. Based on student abilities allocate them a skip counting
number and they will skip count from the number they rolled,
circling the skip counting pattern using a whiteboard marker.
Topic/ Focus
Term 2, Week 4 - Students to work in pairs of like abilities.
Allocate the students a skip counting pattern to count by. Lower
students (1s or 2s). Mid-range students (3s, 4, 5s or 10s). Higher
students (6s, 7s, 8s or 9s). The students will work in pairs to
buzz the skip counting pattern, taking in turns, using a hundreds
chart each to keep track of their skip counting pattern together
along with a whiteboard marker (all students should have their
own in their supplies).

APPLIED
STATISTICS & PROBABILITY
Level 1
Choose simple questions and gather responses(VCMSP101)
Term 2, Week 1 The 25 children in our class each drew a
picture of himself or herself. Our teacher asked a question that
we could answer yes or a no. Twenty children put their picture
in the yes line while five children put their picture in the no line.
What might the question have been? (Students can come up
with as many different questions as possible. Are the
suggestions made by the student reasonable?)
Term 2, Week 2 - Students are to come up with their own open-
ended question. They will write this question down as a heading
in their Maths book and walk around the classroom surveying
other students through asking their open-ended question in order
to collect data. The students are to record the responses to their
open-ended questions below their heading.
Term 2, Week 2 Applying variables to data collections.
Term 2, Week 3 - Students can select an open-ended question
to survey the class with 4-6 variables. Students will draw their
simple table to record their results. What was the most popular of
their choices? What was the least popular?
Term 2, Week 3 - Using the results from the previous lesson,
students can redo their table of results using tally marks. This
can be recorded in their maths journal. Ask the students to write
an explanation of which option was the most popular and what
was the least popular. Is there anything else they can share
about their results?
Level 1
Represent data with objects and drawings where one object or drawing
represents one data value. Describe the displays (VCMSP102)
 Term 2, Week 2 - game of "making ten' with a partner using
counters. Emphasising that 10 ones make 1 ten.
Term 2, Week 2 - Students can draw a place value house in their
book with a 'just right' number displayed. They can then build
their number using ten frames and bundling sticks to represent
their number in a few different ways. If teachers still have
odometers created last year they can use these as another tool
for representing their numbers. Ensure students write the
number they have made e.g. 77 = 7 tens 7 ones.
Term 2, Week 3 - Students are to work in pairs for this activity.
Each pair will have a pile of bundling sticks to work with and
elastic bands. Partners will take in turns to roll a dice and collect
the amount of sticks needed to make that number from the pile.
Once one player has reached 50 and represented this as 5
bundles of 10, they have won the game. Once the pair has
completed representing 50 they will play again, working towards
reaching 100 by bundling 10 groups of 10 sticks. The player who
wins will be the one who reaches 100 first.
Term 2, Week 3 - Students can have a go representing 'just right'
numbers in their maths journal. Encourage them to draw the
place value houses that apply to their number. They can choose
other maths resources to represent their thinking.
Term 2, Week 4 - Students use their maths book. They choose a
'Just Right Number' and demonstrate different ways to represent
this number to show place value.
Term 2, Week 4 - Students will be given a page of number
expanders based on their ability. Students will use their maths
books. They will choose a series of 'Just Right Numbers' and
write these in their book, leaving space underneath each to
paste their number expanders. Once students have selected
their numbers they will represent these numbers on number
expanders and cut and paste the expanders underneath the
number they belong to in their maths book.
Term 2, Week 5 WIPEOUT Game
Term 2, Week 5 - Students to choose a just right number which
contains zeros. Students to then represent the number using
bundling sticks or MAB.
Term 2, Week 5 - Students are to be provided with copies of the
flash card sheets. They are to then cut them out and glue them
into their maths books in order of smallest to largest. Students
will have to turn their math books 90 degrees so that the flash
cards will fit when glued in and glue them on the left hand side.
Opposite each flash card they will write the number expressing it
Term 2, Week 4 - Students are to complete the picture graph
activity sheet.
Term 2, Week 4 - Students use their results from last weeks
lesson (they had to restrict their variables) to draw a picture
graph in their books. If time permits students can write some
facts about their picture graph.
Term 2, Week 5 - Students are to complete the bar graph activity
sheet. (on server). There are two to choose from or you may like
your class to complete both.
Level 2
Identify a question of interest based on one categorical variable. Gather
data relevant to the question (VCMSP126)
Term 2, Week 2 - Students are to come up with their own open-
ended question. They will write this question down as a heading
in their Maths book and walk around the classroom surveying
other students through asking their open-ended question in order
to collect data. The students are to record the responses to their
open-ended questions below their heading.
Term 2, Week 2 Applying variables to data collections.
