Who is Pablo Picasso ?

Today we researched who Pablo Picaso was and looked at some of his work.

Here are some of the things we found out.

Place value.. what does it look like

Today in mathematics a group were looking at how to multiply two digit numbers using place value. 


First we used materials to see what that equation looked like and what the expected outcome would be. We then broke out materials into tens and ones to look at how we could multiply these in two steps.

Group Problem Solving - Maths

Maths on a Friday is mixed group problem solving. This is where the students work with a variety of others to answer a maths problem.

The skills again relate back to group work and they are applying their maths skills in a different way.
Last week they were working on sharing their ideas and strategies to answer the problem.

On Wednesday last week Nikoli from St John came to share some knowledge with us.

We learnt about DRSAB

We also learnt how to bandage a large wound 

This was done in preparation for the class going to camp and gave them some insight as to what to do if in an emergency situation.  

What are we learning about ?

The coconuts maths group working really hard today during group maths.

They will tell you what they were learning below.

W.A.L.T turn decimals into money.

At maths time today we learnt how to solve problems using a calculator and division.

When diving money we only need 2 decimal places and we need to add back the $ sign. 

It was lots of fun!

Group work

Today during writing we were learning to work effectively as part of a group.

We needed a recorder, a manager, an organiser and a time keeper.
