Clever Maths Thinkers!

  

The group with Mrs Nathan we're learning to put the biggest number in their head and then count on to solve our number problems!

Maths today

Today in maths we worked in groups to complete our pattern activities.  Our focus was on team work and problem solving.

Some groups had great success and others found the job difficult.

Wow!  Great work Room 11!

Maths Groups

Today for maths we had to solve this problem.

We worked in thinking buddies to find the answer.

Krishnav and Dara explain their thinking.

Isaac explains his thinking.

We are getting better at sharing our working with our friends.

Maths Whizzes

Yesterday and today we have been working hard in our maths groups, using our number knowledge to solve number stories.
we showed how we got our answer by drawing a picture, using the number line and writing an equation.

Maths in Room 11 Today

Today we used our Number Knowledge to help us colour in a picture of a parrot.
How did we do?

Friday 14th August

Today was a very busy learning day.  Here is a sample of some of the things we did just this morning!

   
         

   

Who's at school?

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.

Math's Activities

Today after we had finished our number 7 worksheet we used the maths activities.

Dezyire and Lolesio were pracising the numbers that come between,

Tauroa, Manatu, Jethro and Halatoa were practising counting and writing numbers 

Timoteo and Jrinay were using the counting puzzles to practice putting numbers in order. 

Maths group

Today in Maths, Timo, Fresha, Tauroa and Hazel were learning to read a number story and make sets to help them solve a problem.

Maths

Today in Maths we were learning about the number three.
We worked together on activities to help us recognise and make sets to 20.
