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!!!

Time Games

Here are two Time games for us to use during our Strand time on Fridays:

Game One

Game Two

Challenge yourself and give these games a go!!!

WALT find numbers on a numberline

Play THIS game

Making 10 for Hunter and Kaitlynn

Here is a game to help you make 10

GAME

WALT think about measurement units

WALT use a ruler

WALT tell the time

What's the rule?

Here are some games that will challenge you to find the rule of the number pattern.

HAVE A GO!

Tell Miss B how you did (or ask her for help if you need it).

Growing patterns

Some patterns don't repeat... they grow!

Play this game to see if you can complete a growing pattern.

Patterns

Here is a website that we have used for Pattern activities

You can print from this website to complete these patterns at home if you want.

Numeracy Rotations

Today we explored some of our Numeracy rotations.

We had a lot of fun!!

Patterns

Our first topic this year is patterns.  Look for the pattern games and activities on the side...
