Kia Ora Fetulele 2

Welcome to 2026.

It was so awesome meeting all of you on the first day and getting to know something about each of you. I am really excited about our learning journey together.

I will:            

foster a safe and positive learning environment where students are not only building relationships with me, but also with each other.

It is my goal:

to challenge my students daily, with learning that is meaningful, engaging, and purposeful.

Week 6 - 9 : Number , Multiplication and Division

Multiply whole numbers and decimals

Divide whole numbers and decimals including values that have a remainder that is expressed as a fraction or a decimal.

Round and estimate whole numbers and decimals when multiplying and dividing, using benchmarks support comparing numbers and checking whether findings are reasonable.

Solve a range of expressions by applying the BEDMAS rule:

1. operations grouped inside brackets

2. exponents such as squaring and cubing

3. multiplication and division,from left to right

4. addition and subtraction, from left to right.

*A mnemonic, such as GEMA: grouped, exponents, multiplicative (× and ÷), and additive (+ and −) can be used to remember the order of operations. [ Bedmas]
