In class R5 have been working on their addition and subtraction strategies. Check out this Educreation that Bella and Grace made about their Maths learning! In Maths time the Squares group has been experimenting with the app Popplet on the iPads. We use Popplet to record our ideas then display our thoughts on the Apple TV or on our Blogs.

Every Friday in 3D we practice our Basic Facts for Maths. We always start with a few strategies on the board, a look at their test scores from the week before (On the computer), a warm up game of 4 Corners (Great little maths game!) then onto our 10 minute test. During the week we have maths groups where we learn all our different maths strategies. Then Friday’s Basic Facts test is a chance to put some of these strategies into practice. We have a Basic Facts ladder in class where the children move their name up or down after the test. Throughout the year we have seen huge improvements and everyone can be proud of their efforts!

Last week R3 and R12 squared off on a Maths Week Shape Challenge. Who came out on top? Well watch the Keynote to find out! Since this week is NZ Maths Week I thought I would create a Maths Shape challenge for our class. The idea is to see if you can find the different shapes around Russell Street School (There is 25 shapes in all). I have invited R12 to compete in it as well and all answers are due in on Friday. Below is a sample of some of the shapes. Do you know where they are?

It’s definitely going to be an awesome week!
