Class Happenings - Numeracy

Kindergarten and Year 1 have investigated multiplication and division through sharing of a variety of items. We use sharing mats which so students are able to clearly see that groups are divided equally. Students recorded their group sizes using symbols and topic language.

Years 2/3 and 4 have investigated 2 Dimensional shapes. Along with this, we have discovered a variety of shapes and shape properties, such as tessellations, symmetry, transformations, shapes in the environment and types of lines. We further investigated transformations by reflecting a variety of images across the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of reflection.

The diagonal line of reflection proved quite tricky.

Year 5 and 6 are also investigation 2 Dimensional shapes. One activity was to fold an A4 sheet to form a shape and as a group discover other shapes and create a larger version. This provided opportunities to use transformation of reflection, translation and rotation. Some interesting discoveries were made.
