Maths Talk at Hoon Hay School

At our school we work with a maths mate and share our thinking with them. We ask questions about our maths and if we aren't sure of something, we explain how we do it. We know that 2 brains are often better than one and we enjoy working collaboratively. 

Today Anya and I worked on solving this problem by doubling the 16.

Emily-Rose hung out 6 loads of washing for her Mum. Each load contained 16 items of clothing. How many items of clothing did she hang out?.                                                                          

Today we did maths and me and Anya solved 16 groups of 6 and we used this strategy and or answer is ninety six how would you solve this problem? and what answer would you get

Museum Visit

I went to the museum with my class. We learnt about solar energy.  First we went in to the
room were we got to play around.  My favourite bit was when we went to play in the part were you
got to run on the track and see how much how many days it would take to run to the moon. Then I went to look at the virtual reality where you could see the planets . Then we went to the classroom and
built a go cart and mine and my groups could fly and it could ram into other cars. Its name was Gangster. It had high back wheels so when it fell over we would flip the solar panel and then it would drive
It had propellers so if it was windy but still but still sunny it could fly.  But when we worked together
it turned out as one. We had the demonstration so we kind of had some help but I am happy  to do that .
They are happy so I loved It!
