Room 19 have been working hard learning about multiplication. We're getting lots of strategies (tools) in our maths tool belts! We can draw pictures to show multiplication number sentences. We can use arrays to show them too. We know that multiplication is commutative - that 8x5 is the same as 5x8. We can use repeated addition and doubles. And we're learning other strategies, like using place value and doubling & halving. Have a look at some of our maths group work:

Check out the awesome Maths Poster that Aida, Hazel, Alex and Ximon made! Can you find any of the hidden maths equations?
Doing an awesome job of adding two numbers to make 12 , 22, 32 or .12, .22, .32. This term we've done a lot of work learning about our feelings and how to manage difficult emotions. Have a look at some of Room 19s learning: Sometimes our learning doesn't have to be structured or planned perfectly. Some of our most important learning happens, through play!
Click HERE to have a look at Charlie's news clip and see what we got up to in Room 19 yesterday afternoon. We solved problems, worked collaboratively and cooperatively, took turns, used our imaginations, showed our creativity, and had fun! Room 19 made star bursts! Star bursts are a great way to practise using rulers - we know that ruler skills are important and don't always come naturally.
First we drew two larger dots. Next we drew 10 smaller dots around these. Then we had to rule lines from each small dot to both larger dots. Below is the result! They look amazing! We experimented with different numbers of small dots, and by putting the small dots in different places. Ask us to show you how to draw them. Today in Room 19, we explored July! We looked at a calendar printout for July and discussed what we already knew and what we noticed. We noticed mathematical patterns. We discussed how calendars are formatted. We discussed what calendars are used for. Then we cut up July and made a calendar puzzle for a buddy to put back together. |
