Term 4 Numeracy/ Technology Challenges

Term 4 Numeracy/Technology Challenges

Some Fridays, we like to revisit our Maths knowledge with a challenge to make Maths more fun! We throw in some technology challenges to add to the learning and excitement. This is how it works.

-Teams are formed with members from every Math group (multi-level, tuakana/teina approach) with emphasis on collaboration and communication.

-Every team earns bricks depending on how quickly they can answer the questions correctly.

- The team to answer the question the fastest earns points. At the end of the round the fastest team earns extra bricks.

- Once the Maths round is finished the team have to work together to create a structure involving all the elements that were assigned that day.

Here are some photos of our amazing Fun Day Fridays!

Writing Term 3

Writing (Experiments)

This term we have been integrating writing and science. Every week we get to become scientist and make predictions of what could happen during experiments.

Learning Intention:

I am learning to make a prediction about an experiment.

Success Criteria:

I know I am successful when I can make a prediction and share my reasons for making it.

We Are Learning To: add ten to any number under 100.<br />
<br />
Ms Rakich's Math class had a two week challenge to improve our Loopy time. We each had a card with an number that was the answer to somebody elses' question until we had completed the cycle. Our first attempt took 7.49 with a lot of stopping to work out the equations. There were a lot of challenges including not trying to tell people the answers to their questions and Active Listening so we didn't miss our questions. By the end of our second week we had our time down nearly 5 minutes at a speedy 2.56!
