Salute!
This game is played with a pack of cards. One player is the dealer who deals a
single card to each player. When the dealer deals the cards he/she says Salute
and the two other players hold the card up to their forehead so that the dealer
and the other player can see the card. The dealer multiplies the cards mentally
and announces the total. The first player to calculate the number on their own
card wins both cards. The winner is the one with the most cards by the end of
the deck. The dealer plays the winner and the game continues.(Value of the Ace
is one and Value of Jack, Queen, King cards can be ten)

Content:
Connect decimal representations to the metric system (ACMMG135)
recognise the equivalence of whole-number and decimal representations of measurements of mass, eg 3 kg 250 g is the
same as 3.25 kg
interpret decimal notation for masses, eg 2.08 kg is the same as 2 kilograms and 80 grams
measure mass using scales and record using decimal notation of up to three decimal places, eg 0.875 kg

Explicit Teaching
Revise grams, kilograms, tonnes
Teacher must explain and demonstrate how to connect decimal
representations to the metric system. Students will:
recognise quivalence of whole-number and decimal
representations of measurements of mass, eg 3 kg 250 g is the
same as 3.25 kg
interpret decimal notation for masses, eg 2.08 kg is the same
as 2 kilograms and 80 grams
measure mass using scales and record using decimal notation
of up to three decimal places, eg 0.875 kg
Student must understand how to convert between kilograms and

Students solve problems involving different units of mass, eg find
the total mass of three items weighing 50 g, 750 g and 2.5 kg
