Group Tahi - Tuesday Maths week

Tuesday in the kitchen: Maths Week!

Today we looked at Measurement in the kitchen..

We had estimations- or really good guesses then used the equipment to check...

We then made popcorn and used it to measure which container could hold the most in it.

We were surprised that a piece of paper the same size could be made into different shapes to hold different amounts.  Check out our group photos.

Group Tahi: another way to practice our timestables:

Have the card with the table you wish to learn or practice:
Then flip over the other cards one at a time..
record it down.
