Buddy Blogging

Friday 6th June

This afternoon half of room 18 went to room 5 and half of room 5 went to room 18. The students of room 18 are becoming super bloggers so we got together with room 5 to teach them how to leave comments on other classes blogs. This weeks class blog was room 15, it was fun looking at what they have been doing in their class. Room 5 students listened really well but they will still need lots of help and support!

All about maths

Today we did maths and we were learning to use a range of strategies to solve a given problem.

Our first one was: Tumaru has twenty seven lollies, he buys eighteen more and then eats fourteen. How many lollies does Tumaru have left?

Here are the strategies we used:  

20+10=30

7+8=15

30+15=45

45-14=31

18-14=4

4+32=36

36-5=31

27+18=45

45-14=31

That was the first problem. This was the next one: Levron had thirty four trading cards. He played Dayton and lost twelve. Then he played Tanginoa and won twenty six. How many trading cards does Levron have now?

Here are the strategies we used:

34-12=22

22+26=48

30-10=20

4-2=2

22+20=42

42+6=48

34-12+26=48

34+26=60

60-10=50

50-2=48

Because we were able to use a range of strategies to solve each problem we were able to achieve our learning intention.
