telling the time to quarter past

we have been learning how to tell the time.

Telling the Time.

At Maths time I was learning to tell the time on a clock or a watch or a phone or on the ipad.   On this clock here, the big hand is on the 12, and the little hand is on the 3.  This means it is 3 o'clock.  If I change the little hand and it points to 7, then it would be 7 o'clock.  If I change the big hand to the 6, it would be half past 7.  At first it was tricky to learn the time, but now it's easy!

My Shape Art.

We are learning about shapes like circles, triangles, ovals, rectangles and squares.  I made a flying saucer and I used rectangles and a circle and a semi circle and I drew some stars too.  It was tricky to glue because the glue might go on the place you don't want to put it.  Next time I would make a sun.

Mathletics at School.

I am playing Mathletics.  When I do it right I get the green tick.  I know that they don't match 'cos that one has 3 counters (points) and the other one has five and that's not the same.

Maths Games in Room 1.

We have to look at the caterpillar and then put the right number of pegs onto the card.  I chose 10.  I have to put 10 pegs on to make the caterpillar stand up on his legs.  It's tricky to put the right number of pegs on.  You have to keep counting and checking.

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 race car using squares, circles and triangles", said Elias.

I am learning to add numbers when 5 is one of the numbers

In Maths we have been learning to add numbers when 5 is one of the numbers.  To help us get faster at solving these equations we played a game called "Murtle's Turtles".

"I liked Murtle's Turtles because it was easy and I could say the answers quickly."
