FRIDAY MATHS’ GAMES
On Friday mornings, we rearrange our classroom into groups of tables then rotate from one activity to another. Students learn from experiences and each group has a different hands-on Maths activity which allows them to practise different Maths skills. Some of the recent activities have been adding and subtracting mentally through card games like “Make Ten” and “Knockout Nine”; developing place value understandings through dice games like “Numerate”, competing against each other to learn doubles and compatible numbers to 10 and 100 on the Smartboard and using a range of strategies to solve Maths Problems. I am very pleased with the way all students have been participating and developing valuable Maths skills. Here is a little slideshow of students involved in Friday Maths Games. Try your skills against family members at home. 🙂

ALL ABOUT YOUR BONES
Click on this link to visit a website that tells you all about your bones. It’s written for kids and has some flash animations to help explain how joints work and what’s inside bones.
