Maths at hoon hay!

At our school we work with a maths mate and share our thinking with them. We ask questions about our maths and if we aren't sure of something, we explain how we do it. We know that 2 brains are often better than one and we enjoy doing our maths this way. 

Today Quinn and I worked on solving this problem:

Emily-Rose hung out 6 loads of washing for her Mum. Each load contained 16 items of clothing. How many items of clothing did she hang out?

This is how we did it:

Museum + Art gallery trip.

 On the 13 June we went to the museum and art gallery! we learnt about solar energy at the museum, and made solar power cars! (photos below)

  
















At the art gallery, we made waka huia!
