Numeracy - weekly activities
On this page you will find a series of weekly numeracy activities that a student could work on regularly, throughout the week. Choose one (they can happen in any order) and work through it before starting your Math google classroom assignments. Students can work on their numeracy tasks and then they can upload their work to the Math google classroom.
These math activities have been adapted from SD 38 - RICHMOND and were
created by Janice Novakowski for the Richmond School District
Week 2
Big Idea: Computational fluency develops from a strong sense of number.
Curricular Content: multiplication and division facts to 100 and application/use of these facts when multiplying and dividing larger numbers
Curricular Competencies: develop mental math strategies and abilities to make sense of quantities, communicate mathematical thinking in many ways, represent mathematical ideas in concrete, pictorial, and symbolic forms
Core Competencies focus: Communication

Core Competencies focus: Communication
Day 1 Choose a question: 3X4, 4X8, 6X8, 4X16, 8X12 What different strategies can you use to multiply these numbers? How can you show or record how you figured out the answer?
Day 2 Choose a question: 15÷3, 18÷6, 36÷4, 56÷8, 80÷10 What different strategies can you use to divide these numbers? How can you show or record how you figured out the answer?
Day 3 Choose a set of numbers: What multiplication and division problems can you create with these numbers? How will you show what strategies you used to solve the problems?
Day 4 Choose one multiplication question and one division question: multiplication: 28X12, 95X15, 375X432 division: 180÷12, 890÷12, 1800÷15 Use at least two different strategies to solve each question How can you show or record how you figured out the answer?
Numeracy Task: When might you need to add or multiply numbers together when you are doing things at home? Write a math problem about this and show how you solved it.

Big Idea: Number represents and describes quantity.
Curricular Content: small to large numbers (thousandths to billions)
Curricular Competencies: communicate mathematical thinking in many ways, represent mathematical ideas in concrete, pictorial, and symbolic forms, connect mathematical concepts to each other and to other areas and personal interests

Choose a number: 0.352 or 5.786 or 10 000 or 500 000 000 What different ways can you represent the number? Try and think of at least five different ways. Consider using symbols, pictures, words, grids/arrays, equations, etc.
Choose a number: 0.875 or 3.649 or 1 000 000 000 What ten different ways can you decompose it? Decompose means break into parts (ie. 20 can be decomposed into 10 and 10 or 10 and 7 and 3 and many other ways). How will you show your thinking?
Choose a number: 1.750 or 750 000 Think about that quantity of something that you have at your home. How much space does that amount take up? What different ways could you count the items if you had to? Show your thinking using pictures, numbers and words.
Choose an amount: $999.99 or $999 999 What are some different ways can you make this amount with bills and/or coins? What are three items that cost about this much?
Numeracy Task: Look in a newspaper, flyers or on a website. Where do you see numbers? Record the five smallest numbers and the five largest numbers you find on a piece of paper. What numbers are most common? How are numbers used to organize information, represent value or importance or communicate ideas?
