I am Learning to Solve Subtraction Problems by Counting back from the Largest Number.

I am in Toru for maths and we have been learning how to solve subtraction problems by counting back from the largest number. We started with single digit numbers and moved on to double digit numbers.

My Reflection
I think that it is tricky to solve take away problems because you need to say it out loud  and it is scary to be on video.  Counting back from the biggest number is a good way to work out subtraction problems. I think that I could do it with even bigger numbers! The biggest numbers ever!

I am Learning to Identify 2D and 3D Shapes.

In Room 8 we have been learning about Geometry. We have looked at different 2D and 3D shapes and their different parts. We learned that shapes have different numbers of sides, faces, edges and corners of vertices.

We had a lot of fun making monsters out of different shapes!

My monster's name is Matthew. He is a circle. If he was a 3D shape he would be a sphere. The monster likes to go to the slide and do fitness.

My Reflection
I think my monster looks funny.
I found geometry easy because I knew some of the names of shapes already.
Learning about 3D shapes can be tricky because there are lots of sides.

I am Learning to Say Before and After Numbers to 20.

I am in Toru group for maths. We have been learning to say before and after numbers in the range from 1 to 20.

I need to:

- be able to count forwards and backwards from 20.

- know what number comes before a number within the range 1 - 20.

- know what number comes after a number within the range 1 - 20.

My Reflection

It was so easy, I think that I did really well.
I could say before and after numbers for numbers that are bigger than 20.
It is easier to say the after numbers because they are easy numbers and it is just like counting.

I am Learning to Read a Bar Graph and Answer Questions

I am learning to read a bar graph and answer questions

I need to:

*read the question

*read the data (information) on the graph

*identify the lowest (fewest) and highest (most) bars

*read the quantities

*compare the data on the graph

*answer questions about the data (information) on the graph

My Reflection

I am proud of how I could see what bars were bigger and smaller.

It can be tricky to sound out the names and to see what numbers the bars are up to.

Next time I could ask the teacher for help.

Adding on from 5

I am learning to keep 5 in my head and add on.  This game is called Murtle Turtle and it reminds me to count on from a number.

I am learning to recognise teen numbers

I am learning to count and write numerals to 20.  I am learning to say the number before and after.

"I can add numbers together.  I can take away numbers too." said Matthew

I am learning to count on from a number

I am learning to count on from a number from 20.  I am able to order my numbers from smallest to biggest.

"I can put my numbers in order." said Matthew

I Am Writing My Numbers.

I am writing my numbers on the whiteboard app on the Ipad.  I chose the yellow colour and I tried to write the numbers up to 10, using my finger to write them.
