find and use term-toterm rules for number
sequences drawn
as patterns.

as a percentage
ACTIVITY IDEAS
RESOURCES
 Recap how to set out written
additions and subtractions
using columns. Emphasise the
importance of using place value.
 Using examples, demonstrate
to students what recurring
decimals are
 Using the denominators, learn
how to order fractions
 Show objects or pictures that
represent expressions in order
to model collecting like terms
to simplify expressions.
 Explain that a sequence is a set
of ordered numbers that follow
a rule and each number in the
sequence is called a ‘term
 A set of 0–9digit cards per
learner
 Three decimal
point cards per
learner
 Discuss the etymology of
‘percent’ – from Latin ‘per
centum’ meaning ‘for every
hundred’. Explain that in some
contexts a percentage can
be more than 100, e.g. if a
company’s profits have gone up
 Squared paper
 Coloured pencils
 Objects or
pictures to
represent
unknowns
 Cards showing
algebraic terms,
e.g. -3x, +2x, 5y,
1y…

Learn;
 represent situations in
words or as linear
functions.
 Construct a table of
values
 plot graphs of linear
functions.
 learn to interpret the
values of m, and c for
the function of y = mx + c
Learn;
 Use bearing as a
measure
 Work out the
coordinates of the
midpoint on a line
segment
by 16% this year, their profits
are 116% of last year’s.
 Learners divide
squares/rectangles with
different areas drawn on
squared paper into different
percentages, e.g. a 20 × 10
rectangle, 25% red, 30% green,
45% blue
MID TERM
 Using a table of function to
generate values to complete
the table.
 Using real life situations to
interpret the values of the
graph
MID TERM
 Number cards
 Using the given coordinate
graphs, practice reflection of
shapes. Have mirror concepts
 Coordinate graph
