5MAT with Sam builds on skills from 4MAT, such as a basic understanding of fractions, and takes them to useful and exciting places.
This class covers fractions decimals and percentages, including their more advanced concepts such as mixed numbers, ratios, rounding, and working with GST (Goods and Services Tax). It focuses on how number skills relate together, such as by combining them with negatives or using factors, multiples, and primes to add, subtract and simplify fractions.
This class will be taught with pedagogies (teacher strategies) that emphasise group work, creative problem solving, and applications in real world contexts such as baking from recipes or planning for a party or event.
This course requires an open mind, and some understanding of fractions and other number skills from 4MAT.
