Number Strategies resources

Students show how they would carry out estimation of multiplication tasks.

Students answer questions involving finding fractions in story problems about marbles and write their answer in its simplest form.

Students decide if a percentage statement is correct and explain their answer.

Student solve addition problems where the missing value is located in different positions. This may mean that students transform the problem into a subtraction one. Students reflect on the easiest and hardest problems, and explain their choice.

For this NEMP task students performs a series of increasingly difficult addition problems presented in vertical algorithms.

Students calculate the percentage by which clothing prices have been reduced.

Students solve number problems involving the addition and subtraction of fractions.

Students select the answer for two subtraction problems, select which one they thought was easier, and explain their reasons for this.

Students calculate the number of rocks in a wall set up as an array.

Students express proportions as percentages and calculate percentages.

Students compare two fractions, find the larger fraction and show or explain their reasoning.

Students identify the multiples and common multiples of numbers between 2 and 7 within given number ranges.

Students use doubling and halving to solve a number of multiplication problems.

Students demonstrate their understanding of the order of operations and placing brackets.

This task requires students to show how to calculate multiplication problems with multi-digit numbers.

Students discuss making an interval estimate in multiplication problems (i.e., getting a lower and an upper limit for the actual answer using the front-end and rounding-up estimation methods). They then use this method on two problems.

Students estimate a subtraction problem, share their methods, discuss the rounding one number method, and then do more problems by rounding one number.

Students calculate percentages of whole numbers and convert fractions to percentages.
