Marshmallow maths

For Maths week we did lots of work on 2D and 3D shapes....
...with marshmallows and toothpicks.

We made triangles, squares,

pentagons,

hexagons,

We changed our hexagons into rectangles and squares.

We figured out how to make cubes. We found that these cubes were not very strong.

Here are the numbers of marshmallows and toothpicks you would need to make these shapes.

We made triangular prisms,

and pyramids (square pyramids and triangular pyramids).  These were much stronger than the cubes we made earlier.

We also had time to make our own structures (rockets, giant cubes, stars and other interesting shapes).

Maths fun in Ms Cunningham's 2nd Class

Monday 12th Oct. 2015
This week 10th to 18th Oct. 2015 is Maths week and we had lots of fun today at school. We played a Maths game on the crackingmaths website called Diggy Doggy. We had to follow directions to lead the dog to the correct location to dig for his bone. It was fun!

We also learned simple coding using the Kodables app on our iPad. It was a little tricky at first but we soon got the idea of it, and we helped each other to learn.

Maths Week 2015

This is maths week and also EU coding week.

We will have a lot of fun with maths and coding/programming this week.

We used a lot of maths skills today while we were on our maths trail.

We measured, looked at shapes, estimated, looked at odd and even numbers, counted, added and used our maths eyes.

Making a data chart of weather information

We have been keeping a record of the daily weather.

Today we examined the weather chart for September.

We interpreted the information and made a data chart of the results.

This was very interesting for us.

We took photos using the iPad so we can make a video later in the term.
