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 Tahi: playing target

Logan’s even number

Logan wants to show what 8,736 looks like.
It is an ev en number because of the ones. The six ones can be put into two equal groups.

Group Rua: our Maths language.

We are learning about the language of mathematics and what equal means and how we can show this.

We now know the equal sign = means the same as.  Both sides have to be the same or equal.

We have been using the words half and the fraction sign to show our equal groups.

Maths is so connected!!  It was nice to spend time exploring all the ways we can make these connections. 

Kai Pai Group!
