Pattern Making for Maths

We have been exploring patterns during maths this week. Here are creations by Abraham, Kahzion, Rachel and Semisi.

Circles group learning to read and write numbers

The circles group are learning to read and write the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.

Keep up the great learning Lydia, Rachel, Kimiora, Semisi and Anahera!

Exploring Patterns in Numeracy

This week we are learning about patterns in numeracy.
We explored different kinds of patterns today and recorded this video. Look at all of the different kinds of pattersn Room 7 made.

Triangle maths group doing Fly Flips

We have been learning to use imaging to solve addition problems to 10 

Learning about length

Our awesome student teacher, Miss Haines, has been teaching us about measurement.
Today we used Gingerbread men outlines to find objects in our classroom that were bigger and smaller than our Gingerbread men!

Room 7 Flower Petal Counting

We are learning to match symbols and words for numbers in the range 1-10 to objects in a set.
Here we are doing the Flower Petal activity.

Eggy Numbers on the iPads

We are practicing counting to 5 using Eggy Numbers on the iPads!
It is lots of fun and we are learning how to count groups of objects.

Numeracy - Caterpillar Legs

Today one of our math groups made legs for some caterpillars! Mrs Derrick gave us a caterpillar with a number on it and we had to put enough pegs on it so it matched the number.
Here are some of our caterpillars!

Making patterns

Today we explored patterns in numeracy.  Have a look at some of the patterns we copied and continued.

Caleb made a blue and black pattern.

We used multi-link cubes.

We had lots of cards to follow.

Salem copied this pattern.

Toreka made and continued this pattern

We are learning to recognise and continue sequential patterns.

Three Bear Maths

Toreka lined her yellow bears up.

Caleb had green to line up.

Today during maths we sorted our 3 bear family counters into different groups.

First we sorted them into colour groups, then lined them up according to size. Then we all chose a different group and counted them up. 

We recorded a statement for each of our groups which you can read below.

Tua lined up his red bears.

Jasmine lined her blue bears around the circle.

Here is some of our discovering.

Sorting into colour groups.

Counting to 6

This term we have been learning how to count forwards and backwards. We have been using shells and natural objects to count one to one up to number 6.

Learning about shapes!

We have been learning about shapes in numeracy.

Last week we went on a treasure hunt around the school and found lots of shapes all around us including squares, circles, triangles, spheres, cylinders, cubes and cones.

Here are some cones near where the painters

 were.

We found a big Cube (Container!)

Our basketball hoop has a circle and a square.

The hopscotch is made up of squares.

Our playground has a huge cylinder-shaped tunnel.

David found a triangle shape in the ladder.

This bike wheel is a circle.
