The lesson plan for this unit of learning can be downloaded below.  It demonstrates the use of a ‘Thinking mat’ to deconstruct a word problem.  The appropriate use of Metalanguage in Numeracy is not a stand alone; it is used throughout the lesson, and modelled by the teacher as part of the expectation that the students will use the language to describe how they are solving a word problem.
