These fantastic weekly guides will save you bucket loads of time and preparation! These age-appropriate questions are a great resource for warmups or fast finishers when practicing their mental mathematics. The guides have been created for all weeks of the school year, simply display for students or print and turn into booklets.
Use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems, involving rational numbers and percentages, including in financial contexts; formulate the problems, choosing operations and efficient calculation strategies, and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying the choices made
Select and apply efficient mental and written strategies and appropriate digital technologies to solve problems involving all four operations with whole numbers
Select and apply efficient mental and written strategies and appropriate digital technologies to solve problems involving all four operations with whole numbers and make estimates for these computations
