Maths Tasks

This term Mrs Nelson and Mrs K have worked together to prepare maths tasks that we rotate through each week. They are in line with the Australian National Curriculum. We have been put into four groups and each day we have a different task.

Here are the tasks we are doing this week.

 

It’s great fun! Everyone is kept busy and we are all engaged. You might notice that there are codes on some of our work. They are secret codes that Ann Baker has been helping us with. She is teaching us about Natural Maths. We use the codes to show our thinking.

Here is some of our work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes we work with a partner and sometimes by ourselves.

 

 

 

 

 

    

At the end of the lesson we reflect on our work and share our learning.

We use AirServer which allows us to share our work from the i-Pads onto the whiteboard. A great App to do this is called ‘Explain Everything’. You take a photo on the i-Pad and you can then annotate with it and explain what you were thinking in your maths.

Do you enjoy Maths? What are you learning in Maths?

Place Value

Today in Maths we continued to learn about Place Value. In Year One we have to recognise,model, read, write and order numbers to at least 100. We have to also understand the place value of numbers.

We have been working on this for a couple of weeks. Today we watched a fun Youtube video about Ones, Tens and Hundreds and we played the Bankers game (base 10 game). It was a fantastic way to reinforce the children’s learning.

Here is the video for you to look at:

We found a partner and together we rolled a dice and added ones, tens and hundreds blocks. We had to know at all times how many blocks we had. Here are some photos of us working.
   

We are going to play this game again. It was a fun way to learn about Place Value!

Maths Game
