This week is Samoan language week...

This week is a special week.  It is Samoan language week.  You can practise some counting at home.

 

Maths

Ruma Rua is working so hard in maths.

This is the guess the number game.  Selena is thinking of a number between 0-50.  We have to guess number ranges.  Example - is it between 10 and 15?

Look at us - we are learning how to add to numbers together by counting on from the largest number.

Example: 8+3= First we lock 8 into our head then we count 3 more on.  8 - 9, 10, 11,12.  The answer is 12!

Welcome back to Term Rua...

Kia ora,

The room 2 children have settled back well into term 2.  It is pleasing to see some of the children have been practising their learning over the break!  Keep it up - 'Practise makes perfect!'

This term we have begun a new type of learning.  Every Friday we do 'Friday Maths'.  This means we will do problem solving activities.  We will work in little groups to try and solve a tricky maths problem.  Check out this weeks maths.

The problem:
Jason makes a train from a green rod, black rod and yellow rod.  Kim makes a train from a green rod, black rod and blue rod.  Which train is the longest?

Good work Simran and Emily!

I like how you are comparing the size of your trains Adesh and Vinish!

Great team work Ethan and Hannah!

You have created your own train - well done Mark and Amariah.

Which train is the longest? Well done Phoebe, Arushi and Azhar.
