Basic Fact Games

We created instructions for games to help build basic fact knowledge. We would love you to try them out and give us some feedback.

Holiday Maths!

How much do I need to buy a house?

$50 Food Challenge

Spaghetti and Marshmallow Challenge 2

In Maths we revisited a challenge we had right at the beginning of the year "The Spaghetti Marshmallow Challenge". We had to build the tallest free standing structure using only spaghetti, marshmallows and tape.

Estimation Scavenger Hunt

In Maths we had an estimation scavenger hunt. We had to take a photo of a classroom object, we then had to make an estimate of its size before finding out what the actual size was.

CSI Measurement

The students of Room 3 walked into a crime scene this morning. The CSI team got together to investigate by measuring the perimeter of the body. Unfortunately no arrests were made. 

And the reaction...

Paper Planes

Continuing our measurement challenges in maths we built paper planes. We measured the wingspan of our planes to see if there would be a correlation between wingspan and distance travelled. 

The winning aviators were Hemish with a wingspan of 3.5cm and a distance of 8.1m
 and Heila with a wingspan of 15.8cm and a distance 5.2m

M&M Challenge

In Maths we had an M&M (Maths and Measuring) Challenge. We had to build a contraption to project an M&M the furthest. We then had to accurately measure the distance to see who the winner was. 

How Much Do I Cost?

Measurement

In Maths we are studying Measurement. We began by listing items that are measured, we then wrote down what equipment and units are used to measure these items. We finally created our own classroom economy as a way to measure our behaviour.

WALT - Describe Measurement

Multistructural Outcome Listing Ideas What is measured?	Relational Outcome Explain How is it measured? Equipment/Units	Extended Abstract Look at something in a new way
Money Technology - Data/Speed of Computers, Size of screens Vehicles - amount of fuel, speed, distance Food - Weight of food products, Energy Property - Size of furniture, Area and perimeter of land, Number of rooms Sports - Scores, Statistics, Records Weather - Rainfall, wind, hours of sunlight, tides Body - Height, Weight, Pulse Clothing Size, Shoe sizes	Bank balance, credit, debt Speed = Gigahertz, Megahertz, Data = Gigabytes, Terabytes, kilobytes, Screens = Pixel resolution, length eg. 32 inch Speed = Kilometres per hour, Fuel measured in litres Weight = Grams/Kilograms, Energy of food = Calories, Kilojoules Square Metres, Number of rooms eg. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms Scores measured in goals, runs, tries etc. Victories measured in wins versus losses and draws. Medals for first, second and third place Knots, Kilometres per hour, hours of sunlight per day Height = Feet, inches, CM, Metres. Weight = Stones, pounds, kilograms. Pulse = Beats per minute Small, Medium Large for children and adults. Waists and leg length measured in inches. Shoe sizes measured in numbers eg. size 7	Classroom Economy as a way to measure behaviour Deposits for Positive Behaviour Withdrawals for Negative Behaviour Balance used to collect rewards
