Amy wanted to share her learning with her family today!

Amy felt proud about her work today and wanted to share her learning.

She enjoyed finding all the ways to show 16, and found the patterns of the numbers fun to show.  

Malo Amy, we are very proud of the way you completed all activities and extended yourself to include two digit subtraction. 

Group Toru: playing target

We noticed that whoever gets to the number 5 first will win.

Does it matter who started?
The groups says it doesn't matter.

What do you think?

Group Wha: house fractions

Our Maths group has 4 people:
1 takahe
1 kea
1 hohoi
1 tui

What fraction are in each house?

Group Tahi: house fractions

Here we are working out what houses we are in.

As you can see we have 5 people altogether - that is our whole 

We have 4 people in Takahe and 1 person in Hoiho 

We can also say 4/5 are Takahe and 1/5 is Hoiho

Which is the biggest fraction??

Yes it's 4/5ths :-) 

Group Ono- multiplication and division connections

Today I learnt about equal sharing or division. 

I got confused and now I remember how to use it.  I remember the problem about the 21 fejoias and collecting them in groups of 3.   I knew that there were 7 groups altogether.  21 divided into groups of 3 and that is 7. 

21 divided by 3 = 7

or

3 x 7 = 21

'Groups of' (times) and division are connected together!!!

Group Rima:

What makes a good mathematician?

Group Toru: Jaymee showing a fraction wall

Special interest: intake 2- Fraction snake..

This is the best puzzle to allow students to see fractions in a different way.
Each student has a snake 10 segments long (later increase the segments) or they can make their own.
They chose three colours and colour in a segment randomly.

They must make two cuts ensuring each part shows half of a colour.
 Each colour must be represented.

Well done Dayna and Olivia who collaborated together to create their snake.

Can you see how each colour is represented as half??

Have a go yourselves- don't forget to post a comment.

Game of the Week: Multiplication Battle

Here is Antony sharing his learning with his classmates!

Can you see all the ways he can make 10? I especially like the colours you have chosen and your writing in a Maths way. Keep it up Antony and Mrs C :-)
