Statistics in motion!!

Today we had a lot of fun with our Statistics.  It was a hands on and engaging.  We were sorting data and working with tally marks.

Our Math Focus

We have been very creative in our Math at the moment...

Strand Activity - Shape Property

Have a look at the property cards to see if you can work out how to do this game....

What a tricky activity this is.  I was stumped on the property card that says what shape has only 1 corner???????

Shape attributes

Today Mrs Mercer took a very creative lesson to point out to us how we can identify corners and planes in a 3D shape!

We used toothpicks and small play dough balls.

The class started by creating 2D shapes.  We were then asked to create a cube and pyramid with a square base.

Look at our creations...

Probability

What is probability? it means probably

here are some terms we can use...

• impossible/possible
• maybe/definitely
• unlikely/likely
• uncertain/certain

Fractions Term 3

This is our new tracking sheet for our fractions workshops - Yuri

Reihana can identify fractions of a shape

Spencer can identify half, quarter and thirds of a shape

Daniel is able to identify and draw half, quarter and thirds of a shape

Luke D is learning to what the top and bottom numbers of a fraction mean

Matt is able to identify 'not' half and half shapes

Measurement

The type of measurement we are learning about today is...

Non-standard units of measurement.  Here is the poem we read to begin our journey.  We then watched this video to show us what non-standard measurement is.

What can we measure with?:

• people
• beanbags
• hands
• books
• feet
• shoes
• clock
• flowers
• signs
• drink bottles
• blocks
• bags
• slippers
• whiteboard marker
• chairs
• remote control
• toy cars
• teddy
• table/desk
• paper

Let the investigations begin!!!
