Maths Celebration Day

Maths Superpowers

What's your maths superpower? What is a strength is maths that we could use to help others? What helps us to be successful in maths? We spent the morning finding out about what are some of the strengths that we have in maths and creating our maths superheroes.

We know that it's important to challenge ourselves so that our maths superpowers keep growing, and we will work on this next term too!

Some of our superpower strengths are:
- Writing equations
- Measuring
- Skip counting
- Drawing ideas
- Solving problems using perseverance
- Using a 100's board to solve problems
- Using number lines to show our thinking

Come and have a look at our maths superheroes wall and talk to us about our strengths.

Maths Celebration: Plotting Coordinates

We also enjoyed a day of learning about maths and using coordinates in lots of different ways.

We used block coding to animate and move actors around a grid using the activities from Hour of Code (hourofcode.com/nz). This helped us to learn about left and right turns as well as how to use different functions when coding. Have a look on their website for more fun coding activities we can do at home.

We played Battleships on paper to learn how to plot items on a grid using letters and numbers

Character Strengths Amazing race: We had a treasure hunt using a grid map to find the different character strengths tiles around the school.
