Introduction to Lesson
Work through the Slides presentation in Google Classroom which is the same as the offline.
A number pattern is a sequence of numbers which follow a rule. 3,6,9,12,15 is a number pattern. The numbers in this pattern increase by 3 (+3) To find the next number in the pattern you would need to add 3 to the last number. For example, 15+3=18, so the next number in the pattern is 18. The rule for this pattern is add 3 or +3. You can complete the rest of the pattern by following this rule. The next numbers in this pattern would be 18, __, __, __, __ Another why to say the rule is; - The rule for the pattern is increasing by 3.
Answer the questions below about the following number pattern.
Are the numbers in the pattern increasing (going up) or decreasing (going down) in the pattern? _______________________________________ How much do each of the numbers increase or decrease by? ______________________________________ Write the rule for this number pattern ______________________________________

For the Fallen Laurence Binyon - 1914
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain, As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain.

Instructions to Lesson
Students will typically use trial-and-error methods to find solutions to number sentences. They need to be encouraged to work backwards and to describe the processes using inverse operations. Students need to be able to justify their solutions and communicate their strategies using mathematical language.
Activity 1 – Inverse operations Discuss what is meant by inverse operations.
In mathematics, an inverse operation is an operation that undoes what was done by the previous operation. The four main mathematical operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. The inverse of addition is subtraction and vice versa. The inverse of multiplication is division and vice versa.
Q1. Pose this problem for students to solve:
I am thinking of a number. When I take 9 away from the
number my answer is 19. What number am I thinking of?
Students discuss and write a number sentence that could solve the problem. Compare responses. Determine that the number sentence could be either addition or subtraction, e.g.

Sock Monster
poem by Beverley McWilliams , illustrated by Cheryl Orsini
A Monster lives inside my house. I’ve no idea where. But when I come to get some socks there’s never quite a pair.
There’s a stripy one, a spotty one and one that’s red and blue. There’s a fluffy one, a scruffy one and one that’s almost new.
There’s one I like to wear in bed and one that’s good for sport. There’s one that stretches up my leg and one that’s really short.
But none that go together. So I hope Mum never spots that hiding in my school shoes are a pair of mismatched socks.
I don’t know what he does with them. Perhaps they’re good to eat. Or maybe he has seven kids who each have seven feet.
Things were bad enough … But now I don’t know what I’ll do. That cheeky, sneaky sock monster has gone and pinched my shoe!

School Dog’s Big Mistake
story by Gaz Simpson , illustrated by Kim Gamble
https://theschoolmagazine.com.au/resources/school-dogs-big-mistake
NO-ONE KNEW where he came from. He just turned up one day at our little bush school. We only have one teacher, and she was as surprised as we kids were. After all, it’s not often you have a dog run into your classroom. Anyway, from that day forward, the dog decided to make his home under the verandah.
He was a funny-looking dog. It was hard to say what sort of breed he was. We thought he might be a labra-kelpie-collie with just a dash of dingo. But we knew he was definitely big, brown, hairy and friendly.
We decided to call him School Dog and we all loved him. When the teacher wasn’t looking, we would share our lunches with him, especially banana sandwiches. He liked them best of all.
It wasn’t long before School Dog decided to take on some responsibilities around the place.
For example, he became Snake Monitor. Every morning before the kids arrived, he would investigate every spot where snakes might be likely to hide: under the classroom, around the shed, in the bushes and near the rocks down by the creek.
During the night, when all the kids were home in bed, he took on the job of Rabbit Monitor. School Dog knew that rabbits like carrots, not to mention lettuce and cabbages, all of which the school tried to grow and sell. (So we could make money to buy library books.) So, his night-time job was scaring the bunnies away.
But his most important job was Round-Up Monitor. When the teacher rang the bell, School Dog had to get the kids ready for their lessons. That meant he needed to run around the playground, barking a lot and rounding-up the kids (all sixteen of us). Then he would make us stand in line, ready to march into the classroom. This was definitely School Dog’s favourite job.
Whenever visitors came to the school, he became the Greetings Monitor. In this role he would give a kindly bark and then rush out to give the visitors a friendly greeting.
This often meant bringing them one of the special toys someone had given him or a stick he had picked up or, on special occasions, one of his old, well -chewed bones.
This Greetings Monitor job sounds easy but, in fact, it was the job that got School Dog into serious trouble one day. That was the day all the children remembered as ‘School Dog’s big mistake’.
* * *
Everyone later agreed that the trouble was that the visitor arrived at the school gate carrying a strange black case. For some reason, School Dog seemed to think that the black case looked suspicious. Forgetting his usual practice, he jumped on the visitor and knocked him to the ground. Then he put his front paws on the man’s chest, looked him in the eye and growled. In fact, School Dog growled a lot.
Unfortunately, this visitor was not an ordinary visitor at all. The visitor that School Dog had pinned down was the District School Inspector! Worse still, the Inspector was well known as a kindly man. Whenever he visited schools he always brought along his violin (in a strange black case) because he loved playing music for the children.
But on this occasion, the kindly District Inspector was not feeling particularly kindly at all. In fact, he was very angry indeed!
‘Get this big, hairy beast off me!’ he shouted. ‘This dog is a maniac! HELP!’
People said his cries could be heard two farmhouses away.
Everybody came running—the teacher, the kids, nearby farmers and even two stray cows that happened to be grazing along the roadside. Eventually they managed to persuade School Dog to get off his captive. They then took the Inspector inside, brushed him down, smiled a lot and gave him a cup of tea with homemade scones.
But the Inspector was having none of it (except, of course, the tea and scones).
‘How dare you have this wild beast on school property!’ he exclaimed. ‘He is a public menace. He is a threat to life and limb. I shall report this to head office. Call the pound right now and have him taken away!’
Well, the teacher cried, the farmers buttered some scones, the cows mooed and the children sobbed. In all the commotion nobody noticed that School Dog had quietly trotted away and gone outside.
Then, in the middle of yet another rave from the Inspector, School Dog returned. He had found the violin case and was holding it carefully by the handle in his mouth. He placed it at the Inspector’s feet and looked up at him with sad, begging eyes. Then School Dog barked softly as if to say, ‘Won’t you play us a tune please? Your music might make us all happy again.’
You can tell from this event that he was no ordinary dog. He was a very clever dog indeed. And if it can be said that a dog can be wise, then School Dog was a very wise one because before long the District Inspector had forgotten all about what had happened. He took his violin out, played some happy, foot-tapping tunes, ate more scones and declared that every school in the district should have a dog like School Dog.
Meanwhile, School Dog began to carry out his other job. You see, he was also School Clean-Up Monitor, which meant he needed to eat up any food scraps that happened to be lying around the place. And on that particular day, there were quite a few crumbs that required his attention.
Questions:
1. How many teachers and students are at the bush school?
2. What type of sandwich does School Dog like best?
3. Where did School Dog look for snakes?
4. Why was the school trying to grow vegetables?
5. What was the big mistake that School Dog made?
6. What was in the black case?
7. How did school dog make up for his big mistake?
8. Can you illustrate your favourite part of the story?
Identifying Descriptive Language – Verbs and Adverbs
The Hare and the Tortoise
A hare and a tortoise once lived in the same village. The hare teased the tortoise
for being too slow. He always complained that the tortoise took a long time to
get places.
The tortoise finally decided that enough was enough. He bravely challenged the hare to a race. The hare and
the other animals laughed endlessly at the tortoise for his silly suggestion. At last, the hare agreed to the
tortoise’s challenge.
The tortoise and the hare excitedly prepared for the race. The starting gun
exploded loudly to start the event. The hare disappeared immediately. The
tortoise was so far behind that he foolishly decided to have a nap in the
warm sun.
The tortoise plodded towards the finish line. He eventually passed the sleeping
hare. When the hare finally woke, he could not see the tortoise. The hare
thought that he was still in the lead. To his surprise, when he speedily crossed
the finish line, the other animals were cheering. The tortoise had already
won the race!
• Verbs are doing words.
Underline the past tense action verbs and saying verbs in red.
• Adverbs are words used to describe verbs (when, where or how).

Patterns can also be made using geometric shapes.
Resources: any of the following will work - paddle pop sticks, straws, teaspoons, match sticks, toothpicks, twigs out of the garden Let’s look at how to create a pattern of geometric shapes. • Make a set of triangles as shown below using toothpicks, straws, twigs etc.
• The number of triangles made is recorded in the top boxes. • How many sticks or straws used altogether after each triangle is added is recorded in the bottom boxes. This information from your shape pattern can be put into a table to work out how many to continue the pattern. This is shown below. It is called a table of values - numbers and values arranged in rows and columns to display patterns.
Q1. Use your straws (etc) to make the triangles shapes to continue the pattern.
a) Count the number of straws used in total as each triangle is made. Add the numbers to the above table.
b) As the number of triangles increase by 1, how many straws are added to the pattern? _________________
How are the top and bottom numbers in each column connected? How could you work it out? What rule could you use to find the connection between the terms (term: one of the numbers in a sequence or pattern), 1 and 3 in the first column? To check this rule, go to the second column, 2 and 6, and see if the rule works with these terms.

The rule is __________________________________ It is important to test your rule with every new set of terms in a pattern.
How could you use the connection between the top and bottom numbers to find higher terms in the pattern that are not included in the table? You can do this without making the shapes out of straws.
Q2. Use the rule to work out how many straws you would need to make the following number of triangles. Some working has been given to help you. a. 10 triangles
10x ____ = _________
b. 25 triangles ____ x 3 =_________

Wonderchicken Transcript:-
Imagine sharing the world with creatures that roamed the land tens of millions of years ago.
LAURA: This leaf is really old.
SAM: Look, it's a dinosaur.
Actually it's a chicken. But you know what? You're kinda close. You see, these fat little feathery little
critters are the not so-distant cousins of creatures that lived in the age of the dinosaurs and here is the
proof. Meet wonderchicken, aka Asteriornis maastrichtensis, let's just stick with wonderchicken. A fossil
collector found the what looks like a chicken dinner 20 years ago and didn't think too much of it. But turns
out it's actually 66.7 million years old and palaeontologists, like Dr Daniel, reckon it's the great, great,
great, great, great, great ancestor of modern-day chickens and ducks.
DR DANIEL FIELD, PALAEONTOLOGIST: There are features of the skull that are very reminiscent of what
we see in living chickens and their relatives. Including the basic architecture of the beak and that region of
the face. So we were thinking that it was quite chicken like and of course given the shock of discovering it
wonderchicken seemed quite apropos.
For a while now scientists have thought that birds evolved from a family of dinosaurs called therapods.
Which included some famous faces like Allosaurus, Velociraptor, Megalosaurus and T-Rex himself.
Theropods were reptiles but they had some bird-like characteristics like hollow bones, long limbs with
hinged ankle joints and clawed three fingered hands. Plus, they had feathers and some of them could fly,
which is pretty much bird 101. Over millions of years some of those therapods evolved to be more and
more bird-like until you start to see species like this. Vegavis Iaai looks very much like a 66 million-year-old
duck but it's not actually a direct ancestor of modern-day fowl. Whereas palaeontologists think that
wonderchicken is.
DR DANIEL: The new wonderchicken fossil provides us with an amazing glimpse at what modern birds
were like about 66.7 million years ago as well as a fantastic look at an animal close to the common
ancestor of chicken like birds and duck like birds
The really cool thing about wonderchicken is that it was around at the same time as dinosaurs. You see,
it's thought that around 66 million years ago an asteroid came along and wiped out pretty much 80% of
life on Earth. The poor old dinosaurs didn't make it, but the birds did, and this fossil could provide new
clues as to how they did it. It also shows how little these guys have changed since the days of the
dinosaurs. Which means every time you see a pigeon, a duck or a humble chicken you're getting a glimpse
of life in the age of the dinosaurs.
