This is a student-centered workbook that reviews students’ application of concepts in mathematics such as: Percentages Representing data as bar charts or pie charts Working out combinations of two or three items Using area and perimeter Use models to solve problems Fractions The main concept addressed in this workbook is Combinatorics. Students are encouraged to find combinations using some sort of reasoning using mathematical models without being introduced to the algorithm or calculators. This

This lesson explores multiplication by representing and solving problems by introducing students to carry out multiplication through grouping. The problems in this case are associated with a day out on the farm, You will need to set the scene and use the PowerPoint slide presentation to guide students through the problems. Students work out the problems on the accompanying workbook.
