Homophone Match-Up
01 · WorkshopLet’s investigate the words for Sports Stats. Look for what changes, then explain what you notice.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
Choose the correct spelling of common homophones from context.
YOUR MISSION
Investigate their/there/they're; your/you're; we're/where in sports sentences.
Need help? See the steps
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
Homophones sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. Use the sentence around the word to decide which spelling makes sense.
- STEP 1Read or tap each word.
- STEP 2Look closely at the word part the mission is teaching.
- STEP 3Sort, build or compare the words.
- STEP 4Explain the pattern in your own words.
PRACTISE · Try the words

Comparing Details & Finding Evidence
02 · LibraryRead the Sports Stats information first. Talk the idea through, then answer one small question at a time.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
Compare details in a sports report and support an inference with evidence.
YOUR MISSION
Which team had more shots? What evidence shows Team K improved after half-time? What can you infer about possession? Use a number from the table.
Need help? See the steps
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
An apostrophe can show that something belongs to one person, place or thing. Put the apostrophe before the s for singular possession, like the guide’s map. Evidence is a clue from the text, picture or data that supports your thinking. An inference is an idea you work out from clues.
- STEP 1Read once to understand what it is mostly about.
- STEP 2Read the question again and find the part that helps.
- STEP 3Say your answer aloud using because, then check it against the text.
- STEP 4Record a useful clue from the source.
- STEP 5Explain what that clue tells you.
TEACH · Read this first
Sports Match Report — Team K: 34 shots, 110 first-half passes, 160 second-half passes, 5 goals. Team R: 23 shots, 150 first-half passes, 140 second-half passes, 3 goals. Team K began slowly but changed its passing pattern after half-time. The team completed 50 more passes in the second half than in the first and created more shooting chances.
CHECK THE TEXT · Find a clue
A clue from the text is called evidence.

Writing a Sports Recap

WHAT AM I LEARNING?
Write a short sports recap using statistics as evidence.
YOUR MISSION
Write two paragraphs recapping a fictional match. Include at least three statistics and one supported opinion.
Need help? See the steps
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
Evidence is a clue from the text, picture or data that supports your thinking. An inference is an idea you work out from clues. First get your ideas ready. Then build the writing one part at a time.
- STEP 1Plan what your first paragraph needs to tell the reader.
- STEP 2Add the facts, reasons or details the mission asks for.
- STEP 3Plan what your second paragraph needs to explain or add.
- STEP 4Put the paragraphs together and read them back.
NEED TO GET YOUR IDEAS READY?
Choose any way that helps. These are optional — you can always do the whole mission on screen.
ON SCREEN — use the planning boxes below.PEN & PAPER — if you want to, draw or jot your ideas first.SAY IT OUT LOUD — explain your idea to yourself before writing.TALK IT THROUGH — if someone is available, you can talk with a friend, sibling, whānau member or adult.
PRACTISE · Plan it one step at a time
SELF-CHECK · Check your work
This checklist helps you check your work. You do not have to tick every box to submit — the mission check looks at the work you created.

Comparing Fractions & Tenths
04 · Maths LabWork through one maths question at a time. Your answers will be checked before the next mission unlocks.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
Represent, compare and connect fractions, mixed numbers and decimal tenths.
YOUR MISSION
1) Write 7/10 as a decimal. 2) Which is greater: 3/4 or 2/4? 3) Place 1 1/2 on a number line 0–2. 4) Which is greater: 0.6 or 5/10?
Need help? See the steps
TEACH · LEARN THE IDEA
A fraction shows equal parts of a whole.
- STEP 1Read the question and decide what you need to find.
- STEP 2Notice the important numbers and units.
- STEP 3Choose a strategy and work it out.
- STEP 4Type the answer, then check that it makes sense.
PRACTISE & SOLVE · One question at a time
Read → choose a strategy → work it out → check your answer. Correct answers stay correct if another question needs another go.

Comparing Success Rates
05 · Mission DeckThis is your real-world Sports Stats challenge. Work out what the problem asks you to find or make.
WHAT AM I LEARNING?
Compare sporting success rates using fractions and decimals.
YOUR MISSION
A player succeeds on 8 of 10 attempts. Represent the result as a fraction and decimal. Compare it with 6 of 10.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
Write like a sports reporter
Look closely at the basketball image above. It gives you the result, half-time scores, match statistics and notes you need for your writing.
YOUR MISSION
Write two paragraphs recapping the match. Include at least three statistics from the reference image and one supported opinion.
PRACTISE · Plan it one step at a time
SELF-CHECK · Check your work
LEARN FIRST · SEE IT, THEN TRY IT
Fractions and decimals can show the same amount
A fraction shows equal parts of a whole. The bottom number tells how many equal parts make the whole, and the top number tells how many of those parts we have.
Tenths
If a whole is split into 10 equal parts, each part is one tenth. So 7/10 means seven tenths, and we can also write it as 0.7.
Compare fractions
When the bottom numbers are the same, the pieces are the same size. Compare the top numbers: 3/4 is greater than 2/4 because 3 pieces are more than 2.
Mixed numbers
1½ means one whole and another half. On a number line it sits halfway between 1 and 2.
Decimals and fractions
0.6 means six tenths. 5/10 means five tenths. Six tenths is greater than five tenths.
YOUR MISSION
Complete four basketball maths challenges. Use the reference image and the models below. You will see one challenge at a time, and a correct answer unlocks the next one.

LEARN FIRST · SAME INFORMATION, DIFFERENT WAYS
What is a success rate?
A success rate tells us how many attempts were successful out of the total number of attempts. When the total is 10, the fraction and decimal both show tenths.
Player A: 8 out of 10
8/10 = 0.8. Both mean eight tenths.
Player B: 6 out of 10
6/10 = 0.6. Both mean six tenths.
Compare the tenths
Eight tenths is greater than six tenths, so 0.8 is greater than 0.6.
YOUR MISSION
Show each player’s success rate as a fraction and a decimal, then decide who has the greater success rate.
