Maths Whizz

Hi guys,
I am so impressed to see so many people using our maths whizz program.  Remember the aim is to make 'progressions'.  If you go in through your 'tutor' you can do the exercises and the tests and make the progressions.  I wonder if anyone will get a certificate this week?

Doubles

This week, we have been practising our 'doubles' (and near doubles, e.g. 3 + 3 = 6, so 3 + 4 = 7)
We enjoyed watching this fun video!

Exploring numbers

We have thought a lot about place value over the past term, whilst we counted how many days we had been at school. Today we looked at some two digit numbers in more detail:

Ladybirds in the garden - maths problem solving

Today we had great fun being problem solvers. We began by testing and trying out our thoughts and ideas. We talked to our friends about what the problem was and different ways that we thought we could solve it.

Can you finish solving the problem at home?

Maths games

Today some of us played a maths game. It was called "Hidden Treasure". To play the game, someone hides a treasure under a numbered cup (we used stickers - but it could be anything!) - we used numbers 5 - 10, but you could use any numbers that you like Then asks a question to help the other players guess which cup the treasure is hidden under.  You could play this at home with paper cups or even old yoghurt pots.

What a week!

We have had a great week in Room 2. We began on Monday with a circle time...we had fun telling each other our marvellous qualities and sharing our Monday morning feelings...

On Tuesday it was Kapa Haka - Here we are learning a new song, that we later performed to the seniors! 

 This week we have been sharing our news. It was the first week that we have had a 'news topic' to talk about. We all spoke about our Mum.  We found out that our Mum's like lots of the same things (can you guess what that was!?) We used our "Strong Speaking Elephant" voices.

On Thursday we learned how to use Math's Whizz. It is very exciting and we are looking forward to using it in class next week.
