Computations

Adding, Minus, Times and Divide.
These are a core component of what you have to be able to do at year 11.   They are the most common problems and ones that you've been learning for years.

This year I'm not going to teach you the methods of + - x or / ... these have been covered extensively previously.  This year I'm going to teach you about the communication of your calculations.  

For numeracy you will need to be clear in what you are doing.  Some students can look at a problem and find the *right* answer... but that is all they put down.  This is not as important as being able to show/communicate your working.  

For all your work - remember that I've got to keep all your evidence [that's why you need to name your pages]  You will need to clearly show...

1. Words - telling me (the marker) what you are calculating.
2. Symbols - all the add/minus/times/divide symbols (and fractions/decimals/etc)
3. Any Units - like "hours" or "days" etc.  
4. There should be a logical order if possible.  

Remember for 26623 (Number Standard) your answers have to be 'reasonable' - they can't be crazy off.  E.g. saying "For lunch I ate 540 kgs of food".
