Learning our favourite 3x tables

Why do we need to learn to multiply?

Check out this video to see why we need to learn out times tables.

We use our times tables to:

• pay wages to hairdressers (Maia & Aimee)
• make different foods and work out how many ingredients you need for each recipe (Dyna & Sophia)
• know how many towels hotel cleaners need for each room (Vishakha)
• work out pocket money $$$ (Sophie)

Estimating and Measuring

We have been busy estimating and measuring items in the class that were between 1-5 metres.

Thank you Ella and Anabel for sharing your work.

Learning our times tables

Remember to ask your friends if you forgot where to find some of the apps and computer games.

Circle and Triangle girls have been learning to find a fraction of a set using multiplication and division.

Here is the word problem we started with today

We came up with different strategies to help us.

We also used this chart to help us solve different problems too.
Ms Loo and Lucy pretended they were going to go to Hell's Pizza to buy a Pepperoni pizza to share too!

Clementine came up with a great way for us to remember numerator and denominator (the down number)

We played these fraction games to wrap up the lesson.
