Mathematics in Action

You might be inclined to think that we are are on the 'wind-down' till the end of Term, in-fact here in Team 8 it is quite the opposite! We are trying to cram in as much learning as we possibly can before we say goodbye.

In Mathematics we have been learning about Mass. We have been using words like 'heavier than' and 'lighter than'.

Here is a picture of one of the balance scales we made. 


It was really fun to see what sorts of things we could pile on to make the scales balance.







We had a go at making playdough shapes too. We learned that even if we changed the shape of the playdough, its mass (or weight) stayed the same.



Maybe you could try to make a balance scale at home over the holidays. We'd love to see what things balance from your house!
