We are doing lots of fun activities for Maths Week including

fraction walls and pies

Tens and Units

We have great banker games to play in Maths.

Each player throws a die.

They collect that number of counters.

When you have 10 you can swap for a bigger item.

The winner collects the most in the time allowed.

Learning about 3D shapes

We are learning all about 3D shapes.

We can name spheres, cuboids, cubes, cones, cylinders, triangular pyramids, square pyramids, triangular prisms and hexagonal prisms.

We are able to sort and classify the shapes according to colour, size, whether they roll or not, whether they stack or not, by shapes of their faces and by corners.

We love learning about 3D shapes.

Using 2D and 3D shapes to make air rockets

We wanted to make rocket tops that we can launch with teacher's rocket launcher.

We discovered that a 2D circle can change into a cone just by cutting the middle half way and squeezing with our fingers.

We discovered that a rectangular card can be rolled to make a cylinder.

We know that triangles will make great fins.

Now we are ready to assemble our own rockets.

Our rockets are ready for launching now!

Telling the time in 2nd Class

We are using clocks to help us tell the time.

We can tell the hour and half hour.

This year we will be working on quarter to and quarter past the hour.
