Improving Our Maths Vocab

Who knew how many words there were in Maths.... A lot more than just numbers!!
In the comment section write as many Maths related words as you can think of starting with the first letter of your name!! 

Then we will blow up the words (not literally) and put them on the ceiling:-)
The only letter I think could be difficult is Y for Yonas so use H for Habtemariam ok Yonas.

It doesn't matter if you have the same letter as anyone else.

May the "Four"ce be with you:-)  

Outdoor Maths

Recently we have taken maths outside the classroom to see where we would need to measure perimeter and area in real life contexts.


With our rulers and maths brains at the ready we calculated the perimeter and area of different objects in the playground.


Here are some pics of the action:-)

Such a Great Song!

The Math Man

This is the message from Math Man Ken Ring - Maths Gives You Power! Today our class had the opportunity to listen to, be tricked, and shocked by Ken Ring. With some of the simplest tricks he had us guessing and asking questions. Hopefully after listening to Ken you have a different perception about what maths is and have realized how maths is all around us! If you ever think that you suck at maths remember what the Math Man said. "Magic tricks are just like secrets'. "Maths is like that too - you have to discover the secrets." Post a comment and let us know what you think.
