Mathematics- Week 6
Information for Parents
This booklet is set out to create activities for your child to complete each day with respect to Mathematics. There will be three activities related to our Number and Algebra focus (currently Patterns and Algebra) and two activities related to our Measurement or Statistics focus (currently Time).
I encourage you all not to provide the answers to your child until after they have attempted to problem solve the questions. Prompt them to tell you how they got to that answer and give them the opportunity to correct their response once you have given them another strategy to solve the equations (see subtraction strategies).
Additional Mathematic Activities
Star Criteria Reminder
Please use the Star criteria to select the appropriate level activity for your child. These are needed as many students work at differing levels. These star criteria allow us as a school to offer differentiation to your child’s learning.
Simply read each star criteria and assist your child to make the best choice in activity for their learning. If a star (activity) is too hard, simply work on the previous level activity. Alternatively, if your child is finding it too easy then look to have a go at the activity associated with the next star.

Additional Mathematic Activities
- For those parents looking to provide additional mathematic opportunities to their children I would encourage your child to continue to log onto Mathletics and Mathseeds to complete their tasks.
