SUBSTRAND: Whole Number 2


OUTCOMES A student: describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions MA3-1WM selects and applies appropriate problem-solving strategies, including the use of digital technologies, in undertaking investigations MA3-2WM gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another MA3-3WM orders, reads and represents integers of any size and describes properties of whole numbers MA3-4NA

OVERVIEW
Investigate everyday situations that use integers; locate and represent these numbers on a number line recognise the location of negative whole numbers in relation to zero and place them on a number line use the term 'integers' to describe positive and negative whole numbers and zero interpret integers in everyday contexts, eg temperature investigate negative whole numbers and the number patterns created when counting backwards on a calculator - recognise that negative whole numbers can result from subtraction - ask 'What if' questions, eg 'What happens if we subtract a larger number from a smaller number on a calculator?' Identify and describe properties of prime, composite, square and triangular numbers determine whether a number is prime, composite or neither - explain whether a whole number is prime, composite or neither by finding the number of factors, eg '13 has two factors (1 and 13) and therefore is prime', '21 has more than two factors (1, 3, 7, 21) and therefore is composite', '1 is neither prime nor composite as it has only one factor, itself' - explain why a prime number, when modelled as an array, can have only one row model square and triangular numbers and record each number group in numerical and diagrammatic form - explain how square and triangular numbers are created - explore square and triangular numbers using arrays, grid paper or digital technologies - recognise and explain the relationship between the way each pattern of numbers is created and the name of the number group

Students could investigate further the properties of square and triangular numbers, such as all square numbers have an odd number of factors, while all non-square numbers have an even number of factors; when two consecutive triangular numbers are added together, the result is always a square number. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: number line, whole number, zero, positive number, negative number, integer, prime number, composite number, factor, square number, triangular number. Words such as 'square' have more than one grammatical use in mathematics, eg draw a square (noun), square three (verb), square numbers (adjective) and square metres (adjective).

Ordering numbers Teachers writes the following examples on the board for the students to work through with the teacher: Place these numbers in order from smallest to largest (ascending order): 10 002, 102, 1002, 12 Answer = 12, 102, 1002, 10 002 Place these numbers in order from largest to smallest (descending order): Three thousand and thirty, 30 500, three hundred and fifty, 33 Answer = 30 500, three thousand and thirty, three hundred and fifty, 33 Provide additional examples for students to complete independently. Check answers together as a class. Writing numbers Teacher explains we can write numbers in several ways; Example: The number, 4365 can be written in: numeric form: 4 365 words: four thousand, three hundred and sixty five expanded form: 4 000 (4 x 1 000) + 300 (3 x 100) + 60 (6 x 10) + 5 (5 x 1). Provide additional examples for students to complete independently. Check answers together as a class. Expanded notation Numbers can be expanded by writing the number according to its place value. Example: 234 567 The number two hundred and thirty four thousand, five hundred and sixty seven can be written in expanded notation as: = 200 000 + 30 000 + 4 000 + 500 + 60 + 7 which is the same as: (2 x 100 000) + (3 x 10 000) + (4 x 1 000) + (5 x 100) + (6 x 10) + (7 x 1) Provide additional examples for students to complete independently. Check answers together as a class. Negative Whole Numbers Negative Whole Numbers are like whole numbers, but they also include negative numbers ... but still no fractions allowed! So, numbers can be negative {-1, -2,-3, -4, -5, }, positive {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, }, or zero {0} We can put that all together like this: Numbers = { ..., -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... } Student examples to try: provide students with blank number lines and have them identify and mark a selection of negative and positive whole numbers, as well as zero, on the number line. Factors The factors of 12 are: 1 and 12, 2 and 6, 3 and 4

Background Information Students could extend their recall of number facts beyond the multiplication facts to 10 10 by also memorising multiples of numbers such as 11, 12, 15, 20 and 25, or by utilising mental strategies, eg '14 6 is 10 sixes plus 4 sixes'. The simplest multiplication word problems relate to rates, eg 'If four students earn $3 each, how much do they have all together?' Another type of problem is related to ratio and uses language such as 'twice as many as' and 'six times as many as'. An 'operation' is a mathematical process. The four basic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Other operations include raising a number to a power and taking a root of a number. An 'operator' is a symbol that indicates the type of operation, eg +, , and . Refer also to background information in Multiplication and Division 1. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: multiply, multiplied by, product, multiplication, multiplication facts, area, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones, double, multiple, factor, divide, divided by, quotient, division, halve, remainder, fraction, decimal, equals, strategy, digit, estimate, speed, per, operations, order of operations, grouping symbols, brackets, number sentence, is the same as. When solving word problems, students should be encouraged to write a few key words on the left-hand side of the equals sign to identify what is being found in each step of their working, eg 'cost of goldfish = ', 'cost of plants = ', 'total cost = '. 'Grouping symbols' is a collective term used to describe brackets [], parentheses () and braces {}. The term 'brackets' is often used in place of 'parentheses'.

Strategies 1 Select and use efficient mental and written strategies, and digital technologies, to multiply whole numbers of up to four digits by one- and two-digit numbers. For example: Vary the way questions are presented: etc Have students check results with a calculator. Strategies 2 Select and use efficient mental and written strategies, and digital technologies, to divide whole numbers of up to four digits by a one-digit divisor, including where there is a remainder. Estimate solutions to problems and check to justify solutions For example: 2)1336 4)3800 4)3100 5)2910 (without remainders) 6)2447 6)9718 5)9562 5)6426 (with remainders) Order of Operations 1 Use the term 'operations' to describe collectively the processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Introducing brackets Brackets can change the order in which we perform operations. Examine the examples below and use your calculator to see if you can find the pattern. Examples: 223 (185 22) = 60 but 223 185 22 = 16 345 (34 + 221) = 90 but 345 34 + 221 = 532 - What patterns have I found in the way the operations order is affected by brackets? Test out your pattern on the following equations. Check your answers with the teacher when you have finished. You may not use calculators for these. Use the space below for your working. 1. 546 (78 + 45) 2. 546 78 + 45 3. 56.798 34.32 2.342 4. 56.789 (34.32 2.342) Explain how you used brackets to find the answers Use the pattern that you found in the last activity to solve the following equations. You may use a calculator if you choose, but you will need to determine the order of operations before calculating. Work through the examples below to get you started. Examples: First rule: 4 x 5 x (9 + 3) = 240 The rule was: Second rule: 4 + 5 + 3 x 6 = 27

What is the total cost?'; this can be represented by the number sentence 6 10 + 2 4 but, to obtain the total cost, multiplication must be performed before addition. Write number sentences to represent real-life situations. Example: Money from Chores Manuel wanted to save to buy a new bicycle. He offered to do extra chores around the house. His mother said she would pay him $8 for each door he painted and $4 for each window frame he painted. If Manuel earned $40 from painting, how many window frames and doors could he have painted? 1. Write an expression showing how much Manuel will make from his painting chores. 2. Use the table below to find as many ways as possible Manuel could have earned $40 painting window frames and doors.

Background Information Refer to background information in Patterns and Algebra 1. In Stage 2, students found the value of the next term in a pattern by performing an operation on the previous term. In Stage 3, they need to connect the value of a particular term in the pattern with its position in the pattern. This is best achieved through a table of values. Students need to see a connection between the two numbers in each column and should describe the pattern in terms of the operation that is performed on the position in the pattern to obtain the value of the term. Describing a pattern by the operation(s) performed on the 'position in the pattern' is more powerful than describing it as an operation performed on the previous term in the pattern, as it allows any term (eg the 100th term) to be calculated without needing to find the value of the term before it. The concept of relating the number in the top row of a table of values to the number in the bottom row forms the basis for work in Linear and NonLinear Relationships in Stage 4 and Stage 5. The notion of locating position and plotting coordinates is established in the Position sub strand in Stage 2 Measurement and Geometry. It is further developed in this sub strand to include negative numbers and the use of the four-quadrant number plane. The Cartesian plane (commonly referred to as the 'number plane') is named after the French philosopher and mathematician Ren Descartes (15961650), who was one of the first to develop analytical geometry on the number plane. On the number plane, the 'coordinates of a point' refers to the ordered pair describing the horizontal position x first, followed by the vertical position y. The Cartesian plane is applied in real-world contexts, eg when determining the incline (slope) of a road between two points. The Cartesian plane is used in algebra in Stages 4 to 6 to

Measuring Perimeter Students select the appropriate measuring device and unit of measurement to measure the perimeter of their desktops, the perimeter of the classroom floor and the perimeter of the school. Students compare their measurements and discuss. Variation: Students find the perimeter of a face of a small object eg an eraser. Students write their own list of objects for which perimeters could be measured. Possible questions include: - how could we categorise the list? In small groups, students categorise items into groups under the headings suggested. Calculating Perimeter Students are given a sheet of paper on which a square, a rectangle, an equilateral triangle and an isosceles triangle have been drawn. Students calculate the perimeter of each shape. Students record and compare their findings. Possible questions include: - how will you calculate the perimeter of each shape? - did you discover an easy way to calculate the perimeter of squares, rectangles and triangles? Three Decimal Places Students choose a distance of less than one kilometre and write their distances in metres on a card. On the back of the card students record the distance in kilometres eg 276 m = 0.276 km. The teacher asks: - Who has the shortest distance? This student stands at the front of the room. - Who has the longest distance? This student stands at the back of the room. The remainder of the class sort themselves between these two students in order. Students compare the two ways of recording the distances. Variation: Students write other distances and repeat the activity. Adding Lengths Students measure dimensions of three items, each involving a different unit of length eg thickness of an eraser, length of a pencil and length of a desk. They add these three measurements eg 5 mm, 20 cm and 1.2 m together to find the total length. Students choose three other items and measure and add their lengths. Variation: Students record measurements in decimal notation. They record and order their lengths. Metre, Centimetre and Millimetre Race Students are told they are going to race across the playground in small groups. Students are given three different coloured dice, one for metres, one for centimetres and one for millimetres. They are asked to choose the equipment they would need to measure the playground eg a metre ruler and a centimetre/millimetre ruler. The groups start at one side of the playground. Each student takes a turn at rolling the three dice. They measure the distance shown on the three dice (eg 3 m, 5 cm and 4 mm), add to the groups line on the ground, and record the total distance each time eg 3.54 m or 354 cm. The winner is the first group to reach the other side of the playground. Students compare and discuss the results. Results could be checked on the calculator. Possible questions include:

Variation: Students measure a smaller/larger distance and vary the equipment used. Design a Cross Country Track Students work in pairs or small groups to design a 3 kilometre cross country course for their school. Students draw the course to scale and label their plan with the scale used and the length of each part of the course. Walk for 1 Kilometre Students use a street map and its scale to mark routes 1km from the school. Each route of 1km must follow streets on the map.

Mystery Flight Students use the scale on an atlas map of NSW. Students plan a mystery flight of 1000km, for example, which commences from the nearest airport and includes up to four take-offs and landings. Plan a Trip Students use a website to complete an itinerary for a trip. On the site www.Travelmate.com.au students can click on Smart trip and enter trip details, e.g. from Sydney to Bathurst for a detailed itinerary. From the driving directions, students will need to convert units to calculate time and distance. Students could complete a timeline of their trip using 24 hour time. Students can use www.qantas.com.au to plan a holiday with a flight.

Diagonals of a Polygon Definition: The diagonal of a polygon is a line segment linking two non-adjacent vertices. Provide the students with pictures of regular polygons and have them explore the number of verticals which can be drawn on each one. Example Solutions:

ADJUSTMENTS
Support with fine motor activities

RESOURCES
shape outlines, dot paper, 30cm rulers, paper and pencils

A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment joining two vertices. From any given vertex, there is no diagonal to the vertex on either side of it, since that would lay on top of a side. Also, there is obviously no diagonal from a vertex back to itself. This means there are three less diagonals than there are vertices. (diagonals to itself and one either side are not counted). Diagonal Problem Solving Have students investigate the following problems: 1. Draw three different polygons. Each polygon should have 5 diagonals. Which strategy did you use? 2. Draw a polygon with 2 diagonals so that the triangles formed are: 4 congruent right triangles 2 pairs of congruent isosceles triangles What shape have you drawn? Have students describe how they solved each problem. Intersecting Lines Know that two lines that cross each other are called intersecting lines, and the point at which they cross is an intersection. For example:

Identify all the intersections of lines drawn from 2 points to, say, 3, 4, 5 other points. Predict the number of intersections from 2 points to 10 points. Circles: Lines A line that goes from one point to another on the circle's circumference is called a Chord. If that line passes through the centre it is called a Diameter. A line that "just touches" the circle as it passes by is called a Tangent. And a part of the circumference is called an Arc.

Circles: Slices There are two main "slices" of a circle The "pizza" slice is called a Sector. And the slice made by a chord is called a Segment.

Explore creating circles from a fixed centre point. Use the diagram below as a prompt for this activity:

Have students evaluate the effectiveness of this method and the perfectness of the end product. ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY Rotational symmetry occurs when the position of a shape matches its original position after the shape has been rotated less than 360. The order of rotational symmetry refers to the number of times the position of a shape matches its original position during a complete rotation about its centre. For example, a square has rotational symmetry.

Support with fine motor activities Concrete shapes to rotate and trace

30cm rulers, paper and pencils

When a square is rotated about its centre, its position matches its original position after a 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 rotation: therefore, a square has rotational symmetry. It has rotational symmetry of order 4 because its position matches the original position four times during a complete rotation. Investigate: the relationship between the number of sides of the polygon and its order of rotational symmetry. Report findings to the class and make generalisations based on results. Making Patterns That Show Translation, Reflection and Rotation Complete the following activities in small groups: Activity 1
In this activity students make patterns that show translations.

Peer tutoring strategy for groupings

1. 2.

Show the students a piece of wallpaper, wall frieze or wrapping paper that shows a translation pattern. Ask the students: what picture is repeated on the paper to make a pattern? Are the pictures the same each time? (Yes)

wallpaper, wrapping paper, stamps, ink pads, paper, pencils, reflective pictures, mirrors, pictures

Sharon Tooney

How are the pictures the same? (shape, size, orientation, colour) Using A4 paper and stamps students are to make their own translation pattern on the page. Ensure that the students keep the stamp orientated the same way as they make repeated stamps on the page. Activity 2 In this activity students make patterns that show reflections. 1. Show the students pictures that show reflections, for example scenery reflections in lakes, butterfly wings. 2. Explain to the students that a reflection picture looks like it could be folded in half so the two sides match. Using a mirror on the fold to show students that the reflection is the same as the other side. 3. Colouring pictures of butterflies so the wings show a reflection pattern is a common and popular activity. Another idea is to make a reflection patterns on the wings of paper planes. Activity 3 In this activity students make patterns that show rotations. 1. Show the students pictures that show rotations, for example, star fish arms, flower petals, windmill blades, propeller blades, bike spokes. 2. Explain to the students that in these types of examples part of the object has been turned around a centre point. Ask them to identify the part that has been rotated. For example, if you take one spoke on the bike wheel, leave one end at the centre and turn the other end it will rotate on to the position of the next spoke. 3. Show the students pictures where the object itself has been rotated, for example: 3.

4.
5.

Using the stamps and inkpads students can show a rotation pattern where the whole object is rotated. Students can make patterns where part of the object is rotated. For example, drawing a flower by cutting out multiple petal shapes and gluing them around the centre or an aircraft with nose and wing propellers that show blade rotation.

Cross-curriculum priorities

Background Information In Stage 2, students were introduced to the compass directions north, east, south and west, and north-east, southeast, south-west and north-west. In Stage 3, students are expected to use these compass directions when describing routes between locations on maps. By convention when using grid-reference systems, the horizontal component of direction is named first, followed by the vertical component. This connects with plotting points on the Cartesian plane in Stage 3 Patterns and Algebra, where the horizontal coordinate is recorded first, followed by the vertical coordinate.

The Key To Understanding Maps Maps can be drawn to represent a variety of information. This information might include things such as roads, tourist attractions and campgrounds, or they might represent the latest weather patterns. The objects on a map are represented using symbols. A symbol is a picture on the map that represents something in the real world. Understanding these symbols requires the use of a key (legend). Maps use a key, or legend, to explain the meaning of each of the symbols used in the map. These keys usually show a small picture of each of the symbols used on the map, along with a written description of the meaning of each, for example: of these symbols.

ADJUSTMENTS
Support to draw symbols, using concrete examples as prompts

RESOURCES
paper, pencils, rulers, coloured pencils

Have students create a map of the school and surrounding area. The map must contain symbols and a key to identify the symbols used. Mapping The Classroom Creating the Legend In their small groups, have students brainstorm ideas for symbols of objects in the classrooms, such as student desks, teacher desk, windows, or bulletin boards. Have students create a legend based on these symbols on a small piece of paper. Remind students that this will be the legend of the map. Creating the Map Have students measure the objects in the room, as well as the distance between the various objects. Assist them in their small groups as they use these measurements to create a map to scale. Remind them to use the symbols from their legend in their map. When the map is complete, help students find a place to attach their legend. Wrap Up If some groups finish this map skills lesson plan before others, encourage them to decorate their map as desired. When all of the groups have completed their maps, encourage them to present their creations to the class. As a class, discuss the difficulties they had in creating their maps and what they could do differently next time. Grid Coordinates: Reading Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position. On maps and graphs it is common to have a pair of numbers to show where a point is: the first number shows the distance along and the second number shows the distance up or down. Example: the point (12,5) is 12 units along, and 5 units up.

OVERVIEW
Interpret and compare a range of data displays, including side-by-side column graphs for two categorical variables interpret data presented in 2-way tables create a 2-way table to organise data involving 2 categorical variables, eg

Background Information Data selected for interpretation can include census data, environmental audits of resources such as water and energy, and sports statistics. Refer also to background information in Data 1. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: data, collect, category, display, table, column graph, scale, axes, two-way table, side-by-side column graph, misleading, bias. Refer also to language in Data 1.

Learning Across The Curriculum


Cross-curriculum priorities

Aboriginal &Torres Strait Islander histories & cultures Asia & Australias engagement with Asia Sustainability

General capabilities Critical & creative thinking Ethical understanding Information & communication technology capability Intercultural understanding Literacy Numeracy Personal & social capability

Other learning across the curriculum areas Civics & citizenship Difference & diversity Work & enterprise

interpret side-by-side column graphs for 2 categorical variables interpret & compare different displays of the same data set to determine the most appropriate display for the data set - compare the effectiveness of different student-created data displays - discuss the dis/advantages of different representations of the same data - explain which display is the most appropriate for interpretation of a particular data set - compare representations of the same data set in a side-byside column graph & in a 2-way table Interpret secondary data presented in digital media and elsewhere interpret data representations found in digital media & in factual texts - interpret tables & graphs from the media & online sources - identify & describe conclusions that can be drawn from a particular representation of data critically evaluate data representations found in digital media & related claims - discuss the messages that those who created a particular data representation might have wanted to convey - identify sources of possible bias in representations of data in the media by discussing various influences on data collection and representation - identify misleading representations of data in the media

TEACHING, LEARNING and ASSESSMENT


Tell me a Story Students use the placement of points on a line graph, that represent the changes in the depth of water, to write a story. They are provided with the completed line graph with axes marked eg time and depth of water in centimetres. Students give their graph a suitable title. Students brainstorm a checklist of events for each point on the line graph that they will include in their story and then write their story. Students share their story with the class. The class uses the checklist and the placement of points on the line graph to assess each story. Media Graphs Students collect a variety of graphs used in the media and in factual texts. They consider each graph separately. Possible questions include: - what type of graph is used? What is its purpose? - what information can you interpret from the graph? - who would use the information? - who produced the graph and why? - is the graph misleading? Why? Students represent the information in a different way. Divided Bar Graphs Students are provided with examples of divided bar graphs and discuss their common features. They collect data and make a concrete model of a divided bar graph by attaching unifix cubes in bands of colour eg yellow for blond hair. Students then draw their divided bar graph using an appropriate scale. Students discuss the relative sizes of the sections. Possible questions include: - what did you name your bar graph and the categories represented by each section? - what fraction of the total does each section represent? - how can you check that you are correct? Students represent the data on a spreadsheet. Mean Students are provided with information presented in the media that uses the term average eg travel brochures, weather forecasts. They find the meaning of the terms mean and average and discuss their usage. The students discuss both words and their meanings. The students collect mean temperatures of a city and represent the data in a graph. Revision Assessment
