Description

Streamline your Year 7 math routine with these “Number of the Day” slides. Designed for Year 7 (Phase 3), this resource bridges the gap between arithmetic and early algebra, focusing on rigorous mental strategies for both whole numbers and decimals.

This resource supports students in mastering the infinite nature of the base-10 system, from large integers to precise decimals.

What’s Covered in Phase 3:

Aligned with Year 7 curriculum standards, these slides target advanced number structure and mental computation strategies.

Advanced Number Knowledge:
- Large Integers: Working with numbers into the hundred thousands and millions (e.g., 991,328).
- Decimal Proficiency: Manipulating tenths and hundredths with precision (e.g., 4.51, 9.5).
- Rounding: Rounding large numbers to the nearest 1,000 and decimals to the nearest whole number.

Mental Math & Algebra:
- Compensation Strategy: Subtracting 99 mentally (by subtracting 100 and adding 1).
- Decimal Operations: Multiplying/Dividing by 10 and 100 to shift place values.
- Percentages: Quickly finding 10% (dividing by 10) and 50% (halving).
- Doubling: Doubling complex decimal numbers (e.g., Double 4.75).

What’s Included:

Teacher Guide: Outlines the “Knowledge” and “Practices” for Phase 3.
Daily Activity Slides: A comprehensive deck featuring a mix of large integer challenges and decimal operations tailored for the Year 7 level.

How to Use: Project the daily slide. Students can solve the problems mentally or in their notebooks. Use the “Add 1.99” or “Subtract 99” prompts to discuss different mental strategies as a class.
