Incredible Maths

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning a new way to help us with our maths. We got into groups of four and we were given sixteen cards and we had to share out the cards evenly amongst ourselves. Before we got into groups we had to follow these rules. No talking, no hand signals and no taking anyone else’s cards. On the cards that we had were numbers, dots, tiles, words and shapes. What we were learning was to put them in to groups. For an example if you have a triangle, a piece of paper with three dots, the number three and a piece of paper with three tiles shaded in you will have a match and you are done. I really enjoyed doing this maths because it is a lot of fun but the thing I didn’t enjoy was that it was really hard because we couldn’t talk to each other or communicate. Have you learnt any new maths this term?
