The learning intentions for each kesson are listed at the beginning of the lesson. Once you know where you chuildren are at, you can then move to the lesson with the learning intention that addresses that.

[]  __**To Use When Planning Chance and Data Activities **__    **Mathematics Glossary ** **[] ** **algebra: ** Refers to both the process of //manipulating// variables and constants in a mathematical expression according to fixed laws, properties or rules; for example, simplifying an expression or solving an equation; and alternatively to a //mathematical// //structure// whose elements and operations satisfy a given //collection of laws//. The word algebra comes from the work of the Arabic scholar //Abu// //Abd-Allah// //ibn// //Musa// //al'Khwarizmi//, who was born about 790 AD near Baghdad, and died about 850 AD. Khwarizmi wrote one of the first books //Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala// on what is now called algebra in 830 AD. //Al-jabr// refers to the process of moving a subtracted quantity to the other side of an equation while //al-muqabala// involves subtracting equal quantities from both sides of an equation. In 1140 AD this text was translated into Latin as //Liber algebrae et almucabala//, from which the word algebra has become part of mathematical language. **algorithm: **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> A process for computation that can be carried out mechanically; for example, the algorithm for subtraction of many-digit decimal numbers, or the algorithm for factorisation of a linear expression using the distributive rule. The word //algorithm// comes from the old English //algorisme//, from a Latin translation of the name of the ninth century AD Arabic scholar //al-Khwarizmi//, who investigated computation using the Hindu numeration system (leading to the Hindu-Arabic number system of today). **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">angle: **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> An angle is formed at the point of intersection of two rays:………
