Friday Maths Fun and Mother's day cards

Kia Ora,

Last week we did Friday maths. It is a special time of the week, that our whole school does maths that is based on problem solving and contexts that we can relate to.

This was the first time we had ever done problem solving for maths and we did such a good job! Miss Fok gave us a problem and we brainstormed ideas of how we might solve it. We then got into small groups to work it out together.

Here are some pictures of us showing you how we worked out and found the answer to the problem.

We had to draw 5 bears and we gave each bear 3 buttons. We then counted how many buttons we used altogether. Some of us even skip counted in 3's! 

We found out the answer was... 15 buttons!

We also made cards for Mother's day on Sunday. Miss Fok said we did a really good job with them!
