MATHEMATICAL SKILLS | THINKING SKILLS |
Lesson 1 Sorting and classifying Researching data
| Lesson 1 Thinking, pairing and sharing Decision making Justification of responses. Information processing skills – using ICT or other resources Creative thinking :The thinking tool “Consider All Factors” |
Lesson 2 Estimation Considering factors in the design of a mathematical model The concepts of “variable” and “constant” Direct measurement : distance and units Indirect measurement : scale and ratio Decimal place value | Lesson 2 Critical thinking: identifying variables for a suitable mathematical model |
Lesson 3 Collecting primary measurement data Interpretation of data through discussion Calculation using scale factor Speed-distance-time relationship Substitution and evaluation using a formula | Lesson 3 Enquiry skills: selection of factors suitable for investigation; breaking a complex problem into simpler steps Solving problems: design of data collection; interpretation and discussion of data Compare and contrast of estimates and findings in order to make a reasoned judgement Identifying assumptions Justifying conclusions, including any assumptions |
Lesson 4 Use of ICT to create spreadsheets/graphs Accuracy of measurement | Lesson 4 Reasoning skills, such as justifying the reasonableness of results, refining responses based on further evidence |
Lesson 5 Error measurements and error limits. Application of the model | Lesson 5 Generalising Using the concept of reasonable doubt to refine decision |
Term | Definition |
Bowled | A method in which a batsman may be out – the ball hits the wicket after being bowled by the bowler |
Caught | A method in which a batsman may be out – the ball is caught by a fieldsman after being hit by the batsman |
Crease-line | A line across the pitch in front of the wicket at either end of the pitch |
Fieldsman | A player from the bowling team who tries to prevent the batting team scoring by stopping the ball hit by one of the batsmen |
Leg-before-wicket | A method in which a batsman may be out – the ball hits the batsman’s pad (leg) and in the belief of the umpire would have hit one of the stumps has it not hit the batsman |
Over | A series of six balls bowled to the batting team by one bowler |
Pads | Protective leg-wear worn by the batsman and wicketkeeper |
Pitch | The 22-yard strip of turf on which cricket is played |
Run | A score made by the batting team when a batsman runs from one end of the pitch to the other, usually after the ball has been hit |
Run –Out | A method in which a batsman may be out – the ball breaks the wicket at the end of the pitch to which the batsman is running, before he or she is able to ground the bat past the crease-line |
Wicket | Assembly of three small poles of wood (stumps) surmounted by two shorter pieces of wood (bails) placed at either end of the pitch. |
Wicket-keeper | A member of the bowling team who stands behind the wicket and stops or catches any ball missed by the batsman |
