1 Plot and identify coordinate Display all four quadrants of a coordinate grid, e.g. use Coordinates.
points in all four quadrants, Explain that (x, y) is an ordered pair of numbers. The point (0, 0) is
and find coordinates of points the origin. Show how to plot points by going left/right the value of x
determined by geometric and up/down the value of y. Point to various points, asking students
information
to write the coordinates on their whiteboards. Check they are
written correctly.

2 Generate coordinate pairs
that satisfy a linear equation,
where y is given explicitly in
terms of x, and plot the
corresponding graphs

4 Use the laws of arithmetic and
inverse operations to simplify
calculations with whole
numbers and decimals
5 Use an efficient written method
to divide three-digit by two-
digit whole numbers, e.g. 172
× 35, 736 ÷ 23
Show y = x drawn on axes–10 ≤ x ≤ 10, –10 ≤ y ≤ 10, and this

Write 5.8 + 􀂅= 6 on the board. Make sure that students
understand that this means ‘What do I need to add to 5.8 to make
6?’, and that the answer (worked mentally) is 0.2.
Say that another method is to rearrange the equation 5.8 + 􀂅= 6.
Ask what the other three equations could be and establish that they
are:
􀂅+ 5.8 = 6 5.8 = 6 – 􀂅􀂅= 6 – 5.8
• Which of these would be the easiest to complete? What is the answer?
By using dividing ITP STUDENTS WILL TRY TO ANSWER QUSTION LIK
Demonstrate more examples, such as 750 ÷ 24, this time
continuing the division to two decimal places. Show the answer in
all three forms: quotient with remainder, mixed number or decimal
fraction.

6 Use an efficient written method Give students the calculation: 9.42 × 6. Establish that the answer will

to two places by single-digit
Draw a grid. Partition 9.42 into 9 + 0.4 + 0.02. Work with the class to
whole numbers, e.g. 13.7 ×
8, 4.35 × 5 complete the grid. Add 54, 2.4 and 0.12 (either mentally or in columns) to
get the total 56.52, which matches the estimate

7 Key into a calculator and Give students the calculation: 248 g + 472 g to do with a calculator.

numbers and decimals
representing money, e.g. 3.5 Ask what they should key in. Because both amounts are in grams,
representing LE 3.50 they can key in 248 + 472 = to get 720 in the display. Confirm that
 this means the answer is 720 grams, which accords with the
estimate.
• For an answer in kilograms, what must I do? (÷ 1000 to get 0.72 kg)
Repeat with 4.24 kg + 1.47 kg. Ask students to do the calculation
on their calculators (remind them to clear the display first), and to
tell you the answer. Stress the need to include units in the answer.
• For an answer in grams, what must I do? (× 1000 to get 5710 g)
Now write 5.43 m + 8.27 m for students to calculate. Establish that
the display of 13.7 represents 13.7 metres, or 13 metres 70
centimetres.
• For the answer in centimetres, what must I do? (multiply by 100)
• How would you key in thirteen metres and seven centimetres?
