USING THE LANGUAGE OF MASS/WEIGHT TO COMPARE: 

We are revisiting Measurement and are using equipment to weigh and compare weight.  We have been 'hefting' objects to estimate, then using a variety of scales to measure and compare.   Here are some of our findings...

USING MATERIALS

We have been using materials to make arrays, and solve multiplication problems.  We work collaboratively in our workshop session and show our thinking to solve equations.  

STATISTICS

WALT collect data using Tally Charts

WALT create a Bar Graphs

MEASUREMENT (Heavier or Lighter than...)

WALT compare the weight and capacity of objects.
We have been 'hefting' objects in the classroom, then weighing on balance scales to check.
We also have been identifying objects that are heavier or lighter then something.
After weighing our pencil cases on an electronic scale (using grams), we used Pic Collage to show items that were heavier OR lighter then our pencil case.   Here are some of the results.

MEASUREMENT (Telling The Time)

WALT tell the time to the hour and half hour.

PLACE VALUE - Week 3

This week we have been investigating Place Value in the Tautoko POD.  Here are some maths tutorials.

What is Place Value? 

MATHS IN THE PLAYGROUND

Recognising that maths is all around us, Tautoko Pod took to the school grounds and took photos based on a maths theme.  Pic Collage was then used to put ideas together.  Here are some of the collages.
