Mathematical and statistical processes – poster and cards
This resource has posters and cards ready for the classroom which outline the mathematical and statistical processes (Do) of the revised learning area.
About this resource
This resource offers student-facing posters and cards that outline the mathematical and statistical processes (Do) of the revised learning area.
Mathematical and statistical processes – poster and cards
Teachers and students use the mathematical and statistical processes (Do) to learn concepts and processes (Know) and develop understanding of the big ideas (Understand).
The poster and cards could be displayed in classrooms, and used as prompts to help students use each of the processes in their learning.
Mathematics and statistics DO processes – Question prompts for students
- Can I pose my own question or rephrase the question in my own words?
- Which information is the most important?
- How do I plan to approach the investigation?
- What do I already know that could be useful in this investigation?
- How do I visualise this? What would I make or draw to show what I am visualising?
- Which representations would be helpful (numbers, diagrams, graphs, or materials)?
- Do I notice any patterns or changes in the representations?
- Is there another way to represent this that helps me see it from a different point of view?
- What do I already know about this?
- How is it the same or different to other times I have seen or used this?
- Can I find something in common between this and another situation?
- Can I find something in common between this and another idea
- What do I notice? Are there patterns, things that are the same or different, or ‘odd ones out’?
- Can I make a conjecture about this?
- Can I write this as a statement, equation, or rule?
- Would these work in another situation?
- How can I check to see if this is always true?
- How can I convince myself and others?
- Does my solution answer the question?
- What maths language can I use to explain my thinking?
- What is my reason or evidence?
- Have I laid out my solution clearly?
