Using a number line!

Ben W lead a group to make this showme - they are explaining how to use a number line when adding 2 and 3 digit numbers! Nice work, team.

Ben's Showme - Adding Fractions

Today Ben made a great showme about how to add fractions with different denominators! (That's the part at the bottom, remember?)

Nice work, Ben. You're a trail blazer! I wonder who else will share what they've learned in a way that can help others.


You can leave some comments below this post - did his showme help you? I think it's fantastic, Ben.

Digital Modeling Books

Have you had a chance to look at our digital modeling books? They are another way you can be involved with what we do at school.

The modeling book blogs are linked from our pages at the top of this blog. There is one for maths and one for literacy. Here's an image from our literacy modeling book.

You can have a read of your child's group work by clicking on their tag at the bottom of a post - all of their group posts will come up on the blog (if you ask your child which group they are in they will know.)

Some of our posts are videos, some are photos but most of them are created using an ipad app called 'paper'. I hope they give you a window into what we are up to - you can even comment or ask a question using the link on the right.

I'd love to hear how you find it or even suggestions of how it could be improved or changed!

Using scale with maps

Today we had a workshop on how to read a scale on maps. We used this interactive and you can have another look at home to refresh your memory.

We also started reading, 'Amazon Adventure' by Willard Price. Have a look at this map of the Amazon and see if you can spot the scale and work the distances.
