Relating to others

Relating to others is about interacting effectively with a diverse range of people in a variety of contexts. This competency includes the ability to listen actively, recognise different points of view, negotiate, and share ideas.

Students who relate well to others are open to new learning and able to take different roles in different situations. They are aware of how their words and actions affect others. They know when it is appropriate to compete and when it is appropriate to co-operate. By working effectively together, they can come up with new approaches, ideas, and ways of thinking.

2022 term 2 stage 4 maths

We will be working on number knowledge and strategies to move students from stage 4, (Advanced Counting/counting on) to stage 5 (early part whole). We will continue to focus on developing understanding of place value, and learning the basic facts to 100, (60+40=10, 100-40=60, etc) Practising these facts a little bit often will help them stick! We will also look to explore multiplication and division, as repeated division and arrays (a pictorial depiction of a multiplication equation). Practising the 2, 5 and 10 times tables is a great way to support this learning at home.

We will be using a range of counting, grouping and equal sharing strategies with whole numbers, developing strategies to add and subtract. We are also working to develop number knowledge around place value, focusing on the number of 10's within decades and how many tens and ones are in a specific number. We will also be looking at multiplication, as repeated addition and as arrays (a pictorial depiction of a multiplication equation.)
