Awsome Presentation

Well done Aimee and Canaan!!!!

Fraction Frenzy

We used the book called: If The World Were Was A Village, to help us in maths

First our teacher, Mrs Campbell, told us only a little about the book so she didn't help us too much. Next we got into our maths groups Triangles, Squares and Hexagons. The Hexagons were the ones who got to use the book to help them with their maths. In the village there are only 100 people and each one of those people represent 64,000,000. 31 out 100 people in the village go to school and that's how we got the question 31x64 000,000. In the end Mrs Campbell picked up a calculator and showed us the simplest way to work it out eg.60x31= and 4x31. and the end results was approximately 1984,000,000 people go to school in the world.

Try this one out it's fun.  I found it on the "Ins and Outs" blog.

hands up for maths

Today it was amazing to see how many people had gone home yesterday and worked on the "World Maths Day" site.  Well done guys.   We looked at the % of our improvement, awesome.

Look at all the hands

World Maths Day - March 1

Let's get into it.
I will give you your logins on Monday!! But have a look around the site! Leave a comment about something that you have found out.

Prove it Friday

Hey guys hope it went well today after all your hard work with pocket facts!  Lets check out the ladders next week.

Pocket Facts

What:  Today we identified some tough facts that were tripping us up.  We recorded them and have had them siting on our desks today.  They are called pocket facts because we are taking them in our pocket and sharing them at home.  

So what: We can remember a fact that will help us.

Now what: "if I know that 1/2 of 30 is 15, then I should know that half of 300 is 150.  We can use our pocket facts to know so much more than just one fact.

Basic Facts Focus

How could we use this site to help our basic facts knowledge?

Monday Maths

 Number bonds

What level can you get to! Record any levels that you find more challenging and we will find more activities to work on that knowledge.  Remember this is knowledge, it is something that should be in your head.  Keep practicing !

"Cards anyone?"

Wow what a rush today for a pack of cards!  We played several games to work on our basic facts knowledge.  I also found a fantastic list of great games that you could play. 

Just google ' ideas for using cards to support the daily mathematics lesson' it is a PDF format!

Dice, dice and more dice

We talked about lots of different ways we could use dice to refresh some number memory!  Add a comment to this to share a cool way that you used.

Maybe the dice can't be found or you want another challenge, try this.  Click on the image to go there.
