• Understand mathematical methods for calculations 

• Understand their uses in computational thinking

Writing numbers using power notation.

Discuss how we can use technology to carry out calculations

Think about how to break math problems down into easy to understand smaller parts

Watch the Video on the next slide

Imagine you have to teach the same solution to the rest of the class:

Take notes and consider how you could improve the explanation.

Think about how the problem is broken down to make the solution easier to understand.

Open Ended

After watching the video, what do you think about how the problem was explained?

Write a short description of the method used and include any changes you think would improve the explanation.

You have 5 minutes.

Time to research

Spend the next ten minuets exploring math's websites and look at different free games that have been developed to teach math's
