Making maths strategy decisions as a group

Sometimes I can solve a problem in my head by moving numbers around by imagining what they look like. Sometimes I need a strategy to solve a complex problem.

Which strategy do you use to solve a problem? Is it the most efficient? Let's compare to others. The Hexagons Group had a variety of word problems to solve using different operations. They used their own strategies and then worked with others to compare what they had done. They decided on the best strategy between them and recorded it here.

Answering questions about our Class Novel Tuesdays at the Castle is a great way to see how we have listened and understood the story so far. We can see what other children are talking about and agree or disagree with their answers.

We are also learning to give other children feedback on their work about the book. We have learned that it must be positive, encouraging and thoughtful feedback.

We have also practiced writing tweets in pairs and reading them to each other to edit before we tweet. We are being responsible Twitter Users using the Internet carefully just like we agreed to when we signed our Device Use Contract.
