Describe 100

We celebrated 100 Days of learning on Monday the 21st of July.  One of the activities was to tell what we know about 100. We added our ideas to a padlet.

Martian Fractions

We had great fun and lots of fantastic learning using Martian Chocolate Bars as one whole and human chocolate bars as the fractions.  Bobby Hunter (R. Hunter, Massey University) introduced me to this context for fractions at the PMA Seminar Day on Saturday.

Making Ten

Knowing how to make ten is an important step to solving more complex problems. For example, if you know that 3 + 7 = 10, you will have an easier time understanding that 30 + 70 = 100, or 43 + 7 = 50, and eventually 300 + 700 = 1000 and beyond.

Here are two games to help you learn the bonds that make 10.
