Squareness- Problem Solving

 

On Friday we worked with the Year 4 students from Māhutonga.

We are learning about the properties of a square and problem solving together. We explored the concept of “squareness.” We know that a square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles. 

We asked: How many squares can you find that have dots from this array as their corners?

5x5dots.


Our brains are growing!

Hour of Code

Today we did Hour of Code. It is a fun coding simulator. We learnt how to move animals and stuff to get to the right places. The levels get harder and harder. There are ages for each theme. You can learn how to programme video games.  Some of the games are Star Wars, Minecraft, Angry Birds, Flappy Bird and Frozen.

Tag Game Rules

Tag games have been getting rough and people are getting hurt by other people pushing them over.
In Tautoru, we have made some tag rules to solve the problems, just like superheroes. Here they are:

  • Talk about the rules before the game so that everyone agrees the same rules.
  • Use gentle hands at all times.    
  • Keep yourself safe. Be careful of slippery wood and grass. Be careful when you are up high.
  • If someone thinks they tagged you but you think they did, then do paper scissors rock or eeny meeny miny mo.  
  • If you don’t want to play, use your words. Walk away and play with another friend that you know.
  • Have fun!
