Telling the time to quarter past

W have the been learning how 

to tell the time. I know that when the long hand points to the 3 it is qoarter past

I’m a Maths Guru

LI - roll two dice and add the numbers

LI - tell the time

We’ve learnt how to use two dice to add the dots together. We played a game with a buddy and took turns rolling the dice. We helped each other counting if one was stuck.

Telling the time is important. We even timed how long it took the pizza man to deliver our dessert pizza. 1 o’clock is lunch time. I know this because the bells goes at school and also in my tummy!

Measuring cups and spoons

LI - to measure using baking tools

Room 2 are getting ready for our big baking day. We used measuring cups and spoons to measure how much we needed when Mrs Christie (our student teacher) asked us 1 cup or 1/2 cup and 1 table spoon and 1 teaspoon. We also sorted the bears and their porridge from smallest to biggest.

Patterns

LI - to make a simple pattern

For maths, I am learning to recognise a pattern. A pattern repeats over and over again. It needs to stay the same. I have tried making my own pattern. Can you try and make my pattern longer?

Shape Pictures

We are learning to recognise 2d shapes in every day life.

 

Room 0 have been busy exploring shapes in a range of different ways.  One activity we did was to choose a range of 2d shapes and put them together to create a picture.  By doing this nga tamariki are able to see how shapes can be seen all around us every day.

"I made a cool rocket ship.  I used circles, triangles and a rectangle", said Roman.

I am learning to add numbers together up to 5

In Maths we having been learning to add 2 digits together when the total is no more than 5.  We learnt that when we add 0 to a number we are adding nothing so the number stays the same.  We also learnt that when we add 1 to a number it is the same as saying the number that comes after.

"It is easy doing 1+1=2 because it's just a little bit."

I am learning to make sets to 10

In Maths we have been learning to match the right number to the right set of objects.  Roman had to choose a card and then put the right number of candles on the cake.
