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
› analyses and creates geometric and number patterns, constructs and completes number sentences, and locates points on the Cartesian plane MA3-8NA

** NOTE - Covering many of the pointers below to achieve outcomes is dependent on the focus of instruction. As such many of the activities below can be used for a variety of purposes, or to cover a range of pointers. I have therefore grouped them rather than repeating them. Instead, where I have been able to find them, I have listed instructional links below pointers where they are specifically applicable.
Worksheets – whilst the site is designed to share interactive site links, I have included a few worksheet sites as their display could be used on Interactive White Boards or individual computers as practise activities without the need for printing - please see the Stage 3 Home Page.
