Wanaka Numeracy Wiki

I have started a wiki to support the children's learning both in the classroom and at home. You can access it at. At present I only have Multiplication and Division on it. The numeracy stateges covered range from Stage 4 - 7. I will add new strands as we cover them.

Pirate Crews

Division is all about sharing. We thought it was hard at first but soon found out it was easier than we thought. This was our learning intention.

WALT solve problems by sharing sets

Division is lots of fun especially when we become pirates and share out the gold from the ships we have raided.

Caleb has a cheesy grin. I think he must know the answer. Who was right? They both knew the answer. Great problem-solvers.

Numeracy - Multiplication and Division

This week we will begin our next Numeracy topic - Multiplication and Division. It would be very helpful if the children could practise their times tables at home. On Friday we collected baseline data from a times table's test using the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x tables. I will test all children every Friday. Year 3 need to learn the 2x, 5x and 10x tables. Year 4 children need to revise 2x, 5x and 10x times tables and learn 3x and 4x tables. Learning these times tables, then recalling them at speed are important knowledge aspects of numeracy. Remember to click on the label Math's Games to find games that were put on a few weeks ago.

Click on the multiplication sign. There are 4 pages of games to play! Have fun while getting quicker at recalling the times tables.
