We LOVE Maths in Team 8, so every week is like Maths Week in Team 8!
On Fridays at the moment we are learning how to measure length.
The first thing we did was make wiggly worms out of playdough... Check out this video where we use measurement language such as "longer than, shorter than" to describe our worms.
We got even more tricky the week after, measuring how 'tall' or 'wide' objects were by counting blocks. It was pretty cool comparing objects in the classroom!
The week after that, we measured using our very own feet! (Have you been in our classroom lately? -you can see the display on our wall).
THEN... because we are measurement SUPER STARS, we got to teach Room 11! We made some miss-matched skeletons by measuring parts of our body with paper. We used standard (cm's) and non-standard (blocks) units of measure.
We truely are amazing at learning here in Team 8!
Come in soon and see what we are doing!
Wow, Fantastic work Rm 8. I love how you used standard (the rulers and cm's) and non - standard measurement (your feet and blocks) to measure lots of items in your room. When I visited your class, you were all so proud to show me your skeletons you made with your buddy class. They do look crazy, they are made up by a 5 year old and 9 year old's bodies.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic measurement activities your teachers have planned for you. The best part is seeing all your happy smiles and faces while doing the best subject in the world - MATHS!!! keep it up. Mrs Madden :-)
What awesome collaborative learning and measuring Room 11 and Team 8 did for Maths week. The skeletons look great!
ReplyDeleteWow! Maths sure is fun in Room 8. I love the way you are all using measurement language such as "longer than, shorter than", tall' and 'wide'. Keep up the great work. Team 8 shine!
