The Matific competition has begun

Today was the beginning of our Matific competition. Our whole school is taking part in the competition which involves students from New Zealand and Australia. The competition runs for 48 hours, 2 days. We were very excited about beginning today. We are staying focussed and working hard on our math.

Jasper, Maisy and Cooper were busy counting flocks of birds that flew past with their binoculars.

Logan was helping to build a brand new spaceship.

Angus was at the circus with the acrobats.

Emma was counting to see if there were more bees or flowers or the same number of each.

Sienna was on a safari counting the different animals she saw.

We were so busy and engaged and doing some great math thinking. We were able to dress up today too as a Matific monster if we wanted to. Here are some of the students and Mrs King our Principal in their costumes.

Don't they look awesome.

We're counting the days at school

We are counting the days we have been at school. We use different equipment to help us.

We also count with our happy flies.

When we get to 100 days at school we are going to have a 100 day party. Angus likes to count on the beads. Jasper likes to count with the popsicle sticks using bundles of tens and ones. Logan and Maisy like to count with the tens frames. Sienna and Cooper like to show the number of days using the flip board. Emma likes to count on the hundreds board. Today we have been at school for 38 days. We know the number that comes after 38 is 39 so tomorrow we will have been at school for 39 days. Mrs Scott told us we have 62 days to go before we get to 100.

Maths is Fun

Check out some of the math we have been doing while we've been learning online. We all enjoy maths.

We are learning about patterns
