Celebrating every 10 days gives us an opportunity to look at these larger numbers and discuss 'groups'. This ties in very well to our current maths focus of multiplication.
Check out the fun we had with the 60 plastic cups which Mrs Manabe brought in! Some serious problem solving went on...
 |
| making a tower with our share (3) |
 |
| working with one other person to make a tower (6 cups) |
 |
 |
| now with 9 cups! |
 |
| and now 12!!!!! |
 |
| then we split the whole lot in half (30) |
 |
| and set out to make the biggest tower! |
 |
| we needed to use our best listening and negotiating skills... |
 |
| the winners! |
 |
| trying to make a tower with all 60 cups! |
