Finding a quarter of a set

I was learning to put a set into 4 groups. Each group must be equal.

Number line subtraction

I am learning to use a number line to help solve subtraction problems to 20.

"I can count backwards to work out subtraction problems.  I put the biggest number first.
Sometimes I can do it in my head" said Macy

Measuring Challenge

We were learning to compare similar objects that differ only in length. We were experimenting measuring with non-standard units. We were learning to have an accurate starting and finishing point when we measured and use measuring language. 

"It was hard to measure the deck and I kept forgetting what number I was up too. "

Maths Fun

Groupings with 5

I am learning to know the sum of 5 and any other number to 5.  I know to start with 5 in my head and count on.   I am able to do this without help from materials.

" I can put 5 in my head and then count on to the number on the dice." said Macy

Shape Pictures

We are learning to recognise 2d shapes in every day life.

Room 0 have been busy exploring shapes in a range of different ways.  One activity we did was to choose a range of 2d shapes and put them together to create a picture.  By doing this nga tamariki are able to see how shapes can be seen all around us every day.

"I made a rocket ship using circles, rectangles and triangles", said Macy.

I am learning to add numbers where 5 is one of the numbers

In Maths we have been learning to add numbers when 5 is one of the numbers.  To help us get faster at solving these equations we played a game called "Murtle's Turtles".

"It was easy adding the numbers because I could count with my fingers."

I am learning to say the number that comes after

In Maths we have been learning to say what number comes next in the line.  Macy had to choose a card from the pile and then put a counter on the number that would come next on her game card.
