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).

Identify a Rule For Number Patterns Play a couple of rounds of Zap or Buzz Off to get students counting in basic number patterns. For the number patterns below work out what operation is being used to generate the next term (e.g. add 4 each time, multiply by two each time). Write a sentence beneath each pattern to describe the pattern. Pattern 1: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 Pattern 2: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 Pattern 3: 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 Pattern 4: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 Pattern 5: 24, 12, 6, 3 Pattern 6: 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41 Pattern 7: 32, 29, 26, 23, 20, 17, 14, 11, 8 Pattern 8: 2, 6, 18, 54, 162 Pattern 9: 270, 90, 30, 10 Pattern 10: 52, 47, 42, 37, 32, 27, 22 Descriptions by students should include: - How did I work out what the operation was? - How did I work out what the rule was? Create a Number Pattern Based on a Rule Revise the rules identified for different patterns last lesson. Explain to students that for the following situations their job is to create a number pattern based on the rule stated. They should create three different patterns for each rule. Note: Some starting numbers are not practical to use. Allow students to change their starting numbers if they have chosen ones that are too difficult, but make sure that they account for these changes in a justification. Rule 1: Add 4 Rule 2: Subtract 2 Rule 3: Multiply by 2 Rule 4: Divide by two Work out what the rule is in the situations below and create your own pattern using this rule. Rule 5: 3, 11, 19, 27, 35, 43, 51, 59 What is the rule? ___________ My pattern: Rule 6: 6, 24, 96, 384, 1536 What is the rule? ___________

Explain to students that they may also find number patterns within tables of data, for example. Outline to students that today they will start writing rules or equations from tables of values, using activities, such as: 1. Jenny earned $2 for each hour she worked. See the table below:
Hours Jenny worked: Money Jenny earned: 1 2 2 4 3 6 4 8 5 10

Support: provide concrete materials, adjust content to student level

- What pattern is being followed to turn the grey number into the white number? - How do we turn a 1 into a 2, how do we turn a 3 into a 6 etc.? - Finish the number sentence: hours ___________ = money - Explain the pattern: Try these: How much money would Jenny earn after 6 hours? How much money would Jenny earn after 10 hours? 2. Michael was one year older than Sam. See the table below:
Sams age Michaels age 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6

- What pattern is being followed to turn the grey number into the white number? - How do we turn a 1 into a 2, how do we turn a 3 into a 6 etc.? - Finish the number sentence: Sam ____________ = Michael - Explain the pattern: Try these: How old will Michael be when Sam is 6? How old will Michael be when Sam is 10? 3. Michelle always had 3 more lollies than Tyler. See the table below:
Tylers lollies Michs lollies 1 4 2 5 3

4 7

5 8

- The rule would be: Tyler ___________ = Michelle How many lollies would Michelle have if Tyler had 6? How many lollies would Michelle have if Tyler had 10? Counter Patterns This activity focuses on the patterns of adding another line of counters using triangular numbers. Help students to focus on what is being added each time and to represent this in a table or as a number sentence (e.g. 1 + 2 + 3 for a 3 line number). Possible questions:

Support: move the counters so that the first ones all align, then work from there:

Whiteboard and markers, paper and pencils, counters

Sharon Tooney

- What shape do the counters form? So what do you think the next shape might be? - How many counters are there in the bottom line of the triangle? Can you find a pattern? - Where are the counters placed (in the gaps and on the ends)? So if we were going to add another line of counters on the bottom here, where do you think the counters should go? How many is this? How is this similar to the last shape that you made? - Lets look at the bottom line of counters in each of the triangles. How many are in this one? Now how many in this one? How many more is this? Now lets look at the third one. How many more is this than the second one? Now lets look at the fourth one. How many more is this than the third one? How much are we adding? Make the pattern below, then work out what the pattern is and answer the questions.

Extension: Square numbers are similar to triangular numbers. Look at the following patterns and work out what the seventh square number would be.

Describe the patterns using words and numbers: - If you were going to draw a fifth line of counters for the shape, what would you draw? - How many counters would be in the shape altogether? How do you know? Complete the following table:
How many lines? How many counters in the bottom line? How many counters altogether? How did we work out how many counters altogether? 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 9

- What patterns are there in the table? - If the shape had 12 lines, how would you work out how many counters were in the shape altogether? - Write a number sentence to explain your pattern Discuss: - The number of counters altogether in each of the patterns above is called a triangular number. - What do you think this might mean? Why would they be called triangular numbers? Subsets: Multiples and Factors Multiples and factors have to do with multiplying or dividing numbers. Looking at these examples, can you work out how the terms are used: Factors: The factors of 12 are: 1 and 12, 2 and 6, 3 and 4 The factors of 10 are: 1 and 10, 2 and 5 The factors of 100 are: 1 and 100, 2 and 50, 4 and 25, 5 and 20, and 10 1. What operation do you think we are using to find the factors of 12? Explain. 2. Explain what you think factors might be. 3. Using your explanation of factors, list all the factors of 20. How did you know what numbers were factors and which werent?

Cover them Up! This is a game for two players. Instructions: The men and monkeys on the game board have all entered a beauty contest. However, the men have forgotten to put their clothes on! The monkeys are very embarrassed, so it is your children's job to cover the men up with counters: - Turn all of the cards upside down - Players take it in turn to pick up two cards. - Add the amount on the cards together. If the answer is the same as a number on one of the boxes then you can cover up the man / monkey standing on it by placing a counter over it. - The winner is the first to cover up ten men (not monkeys, because monkeys are not supposed to wear clothes anyway!) See attached number cards and game board. Variations: - All of the cards are placed face upwards and each player has 30 seconds to pick two cards which make any number on the playing board. - Cover all of the men with counters. Remove one counter at a time and find the correct two cards which make up that number. Deal or No Deal This activity is designed to encourage students to use mental subtraction strategies to quickly and accurately determine the answer to subtraction algorithms. Using an IWB, the teacher provides an algorithm in a red box and an answer in a blue box:

Support: provide calculators for students struggling with mental calculations

Game board, game card, counters

If the blue box contains the correct answer, students call out deal if it is incorrect then they call out No deal. If No deal is called, a student is selected to provide the correct answer. A calculator could be provided for this task to ensure quick and accurate answers, so that the game can keep flowing. Variation: Students could play the same game using addition algorithms. Revision and Assessment

Support/Extension: instead of using an IWB uses sets of differentiated cards and place students in ability groups to play, with students rotating roles as the host to display cards.

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'.

Using Related Facts Write the following facts on the board. 1 32 = 32 2 32 = 64 32 = 128 8 32 = 32 = 512 - What are the missing numbers? Explain that you were doubling each time. Ask the students to discuss in pairs how they could find the other numbers in the 32 times table without carrying out any further multiplication. Draw out that they could add the multiples together to work out other facts, such as finding 6 32 by adding the answers to 2 32 and 4 32 together. Give the students another two-digit number e.g. 26 and ask them to work out all its multiples up to 16 using the same strategy, then to fill in the gaps by combining facts. Check that their answers are correct and ask: - For which of these multiples could you use a more efficient strategy? (e.g. 10, 5, 9, 11.) Now demonstrate how you could use the multiples of 32 to generate other multiples of 32 by identifying and multiplying factors. Discuss 18 32, listing the factors of 18. Explain that 18 32 could be found by multiplying the answer to 9 32 by 2 or by multiplying the answer to 6 32 by 3. Explain that here you are using the factors of 18 to help multiplication by 18. Record on the board to show this: 18 32 = 2 9 32 = 3 6 32 Set the students the task of finding 18 26 using a table in their books. Discuss the answers with the class and ask how they would use this factor method to find 80 26, 24 26. Get students to work through these on the board. Give the students another number e.g. 43 and ask them to generate the multiplication table and then use the factor method to work out other multiples of this number e.g. 56 43, 25 43, 120 43, 54 43. Draw the class together to look for a variety of methods e.g. for 25 43 students might use 5 5 43 or halved 5 10 43 or halved and halved again 100 43. Provide additional examples for students to complete. Order of Operation Discuss with students, their understanding of the order of operations as discussed last term. Students use their understanding of the order of operations to solve the following equations. They may use a calculator if they choose, but they will need to determine the order of operations before calculating.

MATHEMATICS PROGRAM PROFORMA STAGE: Year 6 S2 ES1 S1 STRAND: S3 NUMBER AND ALGEBRA KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Background Information In Stage 3 Fractions and Decimals, students study fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 100. A unit fraction is any proper fraction in which the numerator is 1, eg , , , , ........... The process of writing a fraction in its 'simplest form' involves reducing the fraction to its lowest equivalent form. In Stage 4, this is referred to as 'simplifying' a fraction. When subtracting mixed numerals, working with the wholenumber parts separately from the fractional parts can lead to difficulties, particularly where the subtraction of the fractional parts results in a negative value, eg in the calculation of 2 - 1 , - results in a negative value. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: whole, equal parts, half, quarter, eighth, third, sixth, twelfth, fifth, tenth, hundredth, thousandth, fraction, numerator, denominator, mixed numeral, whole number, number line, proper fraction, improper fraction, is equal to, equivalent, ascending order, descending order, simplest form, decimal, decimal point, digit, round to, decimal places, dollars, cents, best buy, percent, percentage, discount, sale price. The decimal 1.12 is read as 'one point one two' and not 'one point twelve'. The word 'cent' is derived from the Latin word centum, meaning 'one hundred'. 'Percent' means 'out of one hundred' or 'hundredths'. A 'terminating' decimal has a finite number of decimal places, eg 3.25 (2 decimal places), 18.421 (3 decimal places).

Background Information One litre of water has a mass of one kilogram and a volume of 1000 cubic centimetres. While the relationship between volume and capacity is constant for all substances, the same volumes of substances other than water may have different masses, eg 1 litre of oil is lighter than 1 litre of water, which in turn is lighter than 1 litre of honey. This can be demonstrated using digital scales. Refer also to background information in Mass 1. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: mass, measure, scales, tonne, kilogram, gram. Refer also to language in Mass 1.

Revise Angles What is an Angle? Angles are a measure of turn. Follow these simple rules for angles: Angles are measured in degrees. The sign for degrees is . One whole turn is 360. a is an example of a whole turn. One quarter turn is 90 or a right angle. b is an example of a quarter turn. One half turn is 180 or a straight line. c is an example of a half turn.

Types of angles a) An angle less than 90 is acute. b) An angle between 90 and 180 is obtuse. c) An angle greater than 180 is reflex.

Vertically opposite angles The two angles marked in this diagram are called vertically opposite angles and are equal to each other.

Using a protractor: Angles are measured using a protractor. You can guess the rough size of an angle by looking to see if it's acute or obtuse, but you'll need a protractor for a precise measurement. Here's how to use a protractor to measure an angle: - Line up the protractor so the 'cross hair' is exactly on the angle. - Line up one of the lines with the 0 line on the protractor. - See which numbers the angle comes between. If it is between 30 and 40, the angle must be thirty something degrees. - Count the small degrees up from 30. In this example, the angle is 35.

Perpendicular and parallel lines: - Parallel lines are always the same distance apart, like a in the example. - Perpendicular lines cross at right angles to each other, like b in the example.

Properties of 3D Shapes Show the class a closed cardboard box, an empty container such as a cereal box. - If this box was opened out into a single piece of cardboard, what would it look like? Give the students centimetre squared paper and ask them to sketch the single piece of cardboard to give the shape but not to scale, only a small diagram is needed. Remind them this single piece of cardboard is called the net of the shape it can be folded into the shape exactly. Agree the net is something like the shape below:

ADJUSTMENTS
Support: individual support as required, particularly sketching nets

RESOURCES
Cardboard box, whiteboard and markers, paper and pencils, centimetre square paper, rulers

REG

Explain that the box is called a rectangular prism and you want the students to work on cubes now. Discuss the differences between cubes and rectangular prisms, reminding them that all the faces of a cube are identical squares. - What is the net of a closed cube with dimensions 3cm by 3cm by 3cm? Give students time to sketch a net on the squared paper. Collect one correct net from the students and discuss why this works. Sketch the shape below on the board: - Could this be the net of a cube? Agree that it cannot be and if necessary demonstrate using a strip of six squares. Ask students to continue to find nets for the 3cm cube on the cm squared paper. Collect answers, discuss which are correct and why. Establish there is more than one answer and compare different nets for the cube. Remind children of the names and features of prisms and pyramids. Explain that the cube and rectangular prism are both prisms, and the name given to any pyramid refers to the shape of the base, e.g. square-based pyramid. Hold up a square-based pyramid. - How many faces has it got? - What shapes are they? Ask students what pyramids would be formed by the following nets:

Visualising 3D Shapes From Drawings Display the diagram below on IWB and/or provide to students as a BLM. Explain that the diagrams shows four views of the same object which is made up of cubes. Discuss the shape.

Support: ensure concrete models of each shape are available for students to manipulate

and pencils, rulers

- How many cubes were used to make the shape? - Can you make the shape? Establish that six cubes were used and get the students to make the shape using interlocking cubes, working in pairs or small groups. Ask students to hold their shape up in the same position as shown by the bottom left view. Get the students to rotate their shapes through quarter turns to show each of the four views, working anti-clockwise. In pairs, ask students to use five of their six cubes to make a shape of their own. Using a shape made from six cubes show the students how to draw a view of the shape on dot paper. Emphasise starting with the front edge and working away from this to build up the cubes that make the shape. Give students a sheet of dot paper and with ruler and pencil get them to draw a view of their own shapes. Pairs swap their drawings and make the shapes represented by the other pairs. Discuss the 3D drawings and any difficulties the students had. Display the diagram below for the students:

- How many cubes were used to make this shape? - Are there any cubes we cannot see? Encourage students to speculate about the number of cubes and decide that the greatest number of cubes could be more than 14. - What is the least number of cubes we could use to make this shape? Give students time to make the shape. Conclude that 10 cubes is the least number. Display the diagram of two views of the shape, below for the students:

- How many cubes now? (Establish there are 12 cubes needed, get children to make the shape.) - How many more cubes are needed to make a rectangular prism? (Establish that six extra cubes are needed and the rectangular prism is 2 by 3 by 3 cubes, a total of 18 cubes.)

Relationship Between 2D and 3D Shapes The relationships between two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional objects can be explored using interlocking cubes. Teachers provide students with different views of a building, and students must use the blocks to build the solid and sketch the threedimensional view. Consider this example:

Support: ensure concrete models of each shape are available for students to manipulate.

IWB, whiteboard and markers, interlocking cubes, dot paper, paper and pencils, rulers

The solid that will produce these views would look like this:

Students should be encourage to create an answer key by drawing a top view, and indicating the number of blocks in each vertical stack. The answer key for the example above would look like this:

Students can make their own challenge cards with answer keys on the back and several views on the front. Teachers should encourage students to make conjectures when working with twodimensional representations of three-dimensional figures. Variations: - Students can be given the solid and asked to sketch the views. - Students can be limited in the number of views they are given. - Students can be given the isometric drawing and asked to provide sketches of the front, side, top, and rear views. Problem Solving Using Isometric Drawings Provide students with a variety of isometric drawings of 3D shapes and pose a problem solving question for them regarding the given shape. Examples could include:

Support: encourage students to create a concrete model of isometric drawings using interlocking cubes

Isometric drawings of 3D shapes, whiteboard and markers, interlocking cubes, dot paper, paper and pencils

Have students create 3D images on isometric paper, after creating them with interlocking cubes and have the pose a question for their partner to solve, for example: - How many cubes would make up the rear view of this shape? Encourage students to check their answer using the 3D model created and to comment on their answer.

Sharon Tooney

Constructing Pyramids Discuss with students that pyramids can have bases of any number of sides the simplest have equilateral triangles on all four surfaces, but pyramids can be made with any regular polygon as a base, for example, square pyramids are made of triangular sides, but have square bases. Give students nets of triangular and square-based pyramids, and ask students to construct the paper pyramids. Next, place some straws or matches on each groups desk and ask if they can, using string or sticky tape, make the same pyramids out of these materials, using their paper model as a guide. Have students share what they did to make their pyramids and discuss how they overcame problems along the way. Constructing Prisms As for the previous lesson, discuss with students the properties of prisms. Provide the students with a net of a cube and a net of a rectangular prism to construct out of paper. Before providing students with straws and/or matches, discuss with the students what they learnt from constructing pyramids out of these materials and how this knowledge could be applied to constructing prisms. Groups construct cubes and rectangular prisms, using their paper model as a guide. Discuss with students what they did to construct their models and what prior knowledge was and was not helpful in the process this time around. Revision and Assessment

OVERVIEW
Compare observed frequencies across experiments with expected frequencies (ACMSP146) use the term 'frequency' to describe the number of times a particular outcome occurs in a chance experiment distinguish between the frequency of an outcome & the probability of an outcome in a chance experiment compare the expected frequencies of outcomes of chance experiments with observed frequencies, including where the outcomes are not equally likely recognise that some random generators have outcomes that are not equally likely & discuss the effect on expected outcomes discuss the 'fairness' of simple games involving chance explain why observed frequencies of outcomes in chance experiments may differ from expected frequencies Describe probabilities using fractions, decimals and percentages (ACMSP144) list the outcomes for chance experiments where the outcomes are not equally likely to occur & assign probabilities to the outcomes using fractions use knowledge of equivalent fractions, decimals & percentages to assign probabilities to the likelihood of outcomes use probabilities in real-life contexts design a spinner or label a die so that a particular outcome is more likely than another & discuss the probabilities of the outcomes Conduct chance experiments with both small and large numbers of trials using appropriate digital technologies assign expected probabilities to outcomes in chance experiments with random generators, including digital simulators, & compare the expected probabilities with the observed probabilities after both small & large numbers of trials determine & discuss the differences between the expected probabilities & the observed probabilities after both small & large numbers of trials explain what happens to the observed probabilities as the number of trials increases use samples to make predictions about a larger population from which the sample comes discuss whether a prediction about a larger population, from which a sample comes, would be the same if a different sample were used

Background Information Random generators include coins, dice, spinners and digital simulators. As the number of trials in a chance experiment increases, the observed probabilities should become closer in value to the expected probabilities. Refer also to background information in Chance 1. Language Students should be able to communicate using the following language: chance, event, likelihood, equally likely, experiment, outcome, expected outcomes, random, fair, trials, probability, expected probability, observed probability, frequency, expected frequency, observed frequency. The term 'frequency' is used in this sub-strand to describe the number of times a particular outcome occurs in a chance experiment. In Stage 4, students will also use 'frequency' to describe the number of times a particular data value occurs in a data set.

Nearly The Nine OClock News Ask students what they think may be on the news tonight and to write down four things which you think could be on the news tonight. Draw a probability line on the board, labeled impossible, unlikely, even, likely, certain. Ask students to mark where each of their four news items would fall on the line of probability. Invite individual students to share their ideas on the board. Discuss the placement of events using the correct language: - Which event is more likely? - How much more likely? Draw out the need for more precision in the line of probability. Redraw the line of probability with 10 divisions marked on it. Once again invite students to place their news items on the board against the scale. Introduce the convention that impossible events have a probability of 0 and certain events have a probability of 1. Mark each point on the line as 0, 0.1, 0.2,.0.9, 1. Students then assign a value of 0, 0.1, 0.2,.0.9, 1 to each of their news items. Discuss how current events in the news could be pasted against the appropriate place on the line and create a class display. Evens and Odds This is a simple game, where you throw a dice which controls the position of a counter on a 3 x 3 board.

How to play: - Place your counter at the START square. Throw a dice. - If an EVEN number is thrown, move your counter one square upwards. - If an ODD number is thrown, move your counter one square left. - If your counter moves off any side of the board, you are out of the game! - If your counter reaches the FINISH square, you win! Have students play the game a number of times. Ask: - Did you win? How many times? - How many odds and how many evens do you need to get to win? - What is the probability of winning? Experimental Probability Provide each student with a net of CUBOCTAHEDRON (see attached). It consists of 6 squares and 8 triangles. Have students construct the solid from the net. As the students if this object was thrown, what would be the probability of it landing on:

Support: assistance in constructing solid, questioning techniques

- one of its square faces? - one of its triangular faces? Have students throw the solid (a given number of times) and estimate these probabilities. - How close are they to their original estimates? Discuss Horse Racing This game works by having the students take turns in selecting horses (numbers 2-12) on the game board (see attached) and then rolling the dice. Once the dice are rolled, add the score together and the total is the number of the horse that moves one space. The winning horse is the horse that reaches the bottom square the fastest. Once the students have some data: - Ask them to call out how many times each horse won and collate into a class tally/table. - Ask them why they think a particular horse went quite well and why others did not. - Ask them how we, can prove why some numbers have a better chance and probability than others. Have the students write down the numbers from 2-12 down the side of their page. Ask them to record the possibilities of reaching each number (e.g. 4 can be made with a 1 & 3, as well as a 2 & 2) When finished ask the students to add up all of the chances that can occur (36). Then ask them to record each number as a fraction (e.g. 3 has 2/36 chances). Ask students how we convert a fraction to a decimal (if they are not sure, draw a square and halve it and explain that you had 1 thing and divided it into 2 parts (1/2)). Now do the same on a calculator (1 2 = 0.5) Explain that it is the same with all fractions and that we can work out the decimal chance for number 3 by doing 2 36 (0.055) Now make the link between the hundredths part of the decimal being the percentage (per parts, cent out of 100). For 0.055 that means it will be 6% (with rounding). Therefore the number 3 has a 6% chance of being rolled in this game. Workshop with students and allow them to continue investigating the percentage chance for the other numbers. Once students have completed the task: - Ask them to add up the total percentages and see what they equal. Why might there be a variance if the whole is equal to 100% ? - Ask the students to add up the total of all the decimal numbers. What does it equal? How is 1.0 and 100% the same? - Finally ask the students to write a short response to Is this game fair?
