Maths Week 2019

Matching word problems to our arrays - wha tekau

Matching a word problem to our multiplication facts

Tekau: practicing our ‘groups of’ and then finding the answer (we can use more than one number).

Finding the longest pathway across a rectangle

Our learning:

Ryan: maths is about working hard and about understanding. 

Max: don't give up if it's hard, our brain grows when we struggle

Cory: we learnt how to cross a rectangle 

Jayden: you must always try to achieve something, find many ways to solve a problem.

Oscar: struggling makes my brain bigger. Practice makes you better.

Daniel: you need follow the rules and understand them before. 

Marco: fractions can part of division

Timothy: keep trying and don't stop

Anastasia: I need thinking time to find different strategies 

Stephanie:  I learnt sometimes mathematicians can be slow at solving problems

Number talk: 13 divided by 5

Here we worked out the links between multiplication and division.

We could split 130 into 100 and 30 to help us- thanks for showing us Timothy. 

Marco saw the links with his fraction knowledge. 

Maths Week next week:

Wha tekau- using our equipment to show division and put blocks into equal groups

Tekau- matching number lines and our basic fact: 6+ 4 = 10

Rua tekau- using arrays to show multiplication and division

Game of the week:

Using materials to show 60 divided into 5 and 12 equal groups

Making groups with 28 blocks:

Showing an array and the matching family of facts!
