Count and Match

Todia has been working on counting a group of objects and finding the corresponding number. Learning how to count 1:1 is a tricky skill. Todia was able to complete this activity with no support to show that he has mastered this skill. Well done Todia, we are so proud of how much you have learnt this year.

Making patterns

New term and new learning. The students at Tamaki Primary are learning how to make patterns and complete patterns this term for maths. To start the term we did a rotation of different activities to see what we were able to do. We did some activities on the smart-

board, finished the pattern on laminated mats using play dough and did some pattern making games too. Watch over the term to see what other fun learning we do to learn about patterns!

Making Maths Fun!

In our classroom we love to play games, use our hands and move around the classroom. It doesn't feel like were doing maths because we are having so much fun. Todia is building a tall tower by counting to 20, Ricky is adding two numbers together by putting pom poms in the cups and Conrad is learning ordinal numbers by playing a car racing game. Learning is fun at Tamaki Primary Satellite!

2D and 3D Shapes

This term we are learning about shapes. We played some fun shape games. We ran to the shape that was called out and sorted shapes that looked the same into groups. We also practiced drawing some shapes on the concrete.

Reflection and Mirror Images

This term we have been learning about reflection for our Maths topic. We wrote our names on a whiteboard to see its reflection in the mirror. We can see that is backwards. Ricky wrote "Tamaki Primary" using words from our word wall and said that the words "looked funny" in the mirror.

Fractions at Tamaki Primary

This term our maths topic is fractions. We practiced sharing play-dough pizza between two people by cutting it in half. We know that a half is two equal portions. We all love working on the whiteboard to complete maths activities.
