Hard at work in our new Room beside the library

Welcome to Term 4:

During the non contact time I visited the gannet colony - I highly recommend a family visit if you get a chance. 

Here is our problem: 

Tekau Ma iwa

We are learning how to make connections especially between our division knowledge and our fractions. 

How is cooking maths??

Using our estimation skills and lots of discussions each group created their own pancake recipe.  

They were given measuring tools - teaspoons, tablespoons, measuring jugs and cups. 

From there they wrote then measured out the ingredients to create one pancake.  

I am pleased to say all pancakes were eatable and the teachers and Mrs Driver sampled them as well. 

As we only made one pancake we needed to use our fraction knowledge and equal sharing methods to divide our pancake equally. 

Measuring liquids

Measuring water, what do we use?? 

We agreed we use millitres or mls for short.  

We had some guesses before using a measuring jug to get an accurate reading. 

Please have a go at estimating then measuring.
