We have been doing a range of fun activities to show how maths is everywhere and how important it is for us to know our basic facts!!! Here are a few of our favourite bits:
Grace and Tasi - "we enjoyed doing the daily code breaker, especially trying to be the first one to break it."
Junior and Christian - "we liked working out the number of sides for different shapes at the Junior Maths Assembly on Wednesday."
Natalia and Rosseinah - Both agreed it was great to have different teachers read to us. Rosseinah - "my favourite book was the Crocodile Coats about measurement." Natalia - "the book with nursery rhymes was the best."
Marina and Aruna - "we learnt that engineers use maths to design lots of things like bridges and roads, they also help things not fall over."
Tyrese - "the shape song was really cool...a circle is like a ball, round and round..."
Selma - "during Mathex I learnt more about telling the time."
Lynette, Diane and Ashton - making repeating patterns using our own actions and shapes for human art was lots of fun and hard work."
Christina and Renel - "taking part in Mathex was hard work but also exciting!"
