Each day we use our clever maths brains to work out how many people are at school.
We find out how many boys and how many girls there are.
First we count the boys. Manatu told me there were seven, because he knew that 5 on one side and 2 on the other made 7. Then we noticed that there were 4 girls. Hazel knew this because she saw one empty space.
Timoteo reminded us that we needed to move the girls onto the boys bus to fill it up and make 10. This makes it easy for our brains to do.
Then we had 10 people on one bus and only 1 on the other. Jethro knew that this was 11 children at school.
Kahlany and Tauroa came late so we had to find out how many we had then. 11+2 was a bit tricky so we looked at the buses and saw 10 on one and 3 on the other and Jethro knew that it was 13.
Awesome maths work star students! You are doing a great job of making 10 and identifying patterns to help you add numbers together. Keep up the fantastic work :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Whaea Danielle - what clever strategies you are all using!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Room 11! Room 18 are also learning to use tens frames to add on from 10. Awesome stuff!
