Day 1

The aim of the number facts learning tools are to improve your recall of facts so that you can use them to solve problems. The tools work by first finding out the facts that you know and then teaching you facts that you don’t know. 

  • Go to the number facts pathway in e-ako maths.
  • Choose the multiplication and division learning tool.
  • Click “Check all facts” and answer the questions. The green ticks show the facts you know.
  • If you have checked your facts on this tool recently, then click “Learn a new fact” and complete the mini lesson. Do this three times.

Patterns and relationships e-ako

  • Go to the patterns and relationships pathway in e-ako maths.
  • Choose e-ako G3.30 (the third yellow button on the third row).
