What 1B learnt today!

On Tuesday the 3rd of May, the Grade 6 Administration Captains interviewed students in 1B about what they are learning in maths. They started out watching a maths story. Before they watched they had to guess what the story was about. Part way through the video Miss Baker paused the video and 1B had to write down the maths equation. For example, there were 3 tigers on the screen. They were told to write or draw the number 3 and then add the addition symbol. After that 2 more tigers came along, they then had to add the 2 and work out the equation. Do you know the answer?

After the video they worked with a partner and had to write their own addition story. For example, Linda had 3 cupcakes and then I bought 4 cupcakes. How many cupcakes do we have now?

3 + 4 = 7 cupcakes

Now onto the interviews starting with Sophie!

When interviewing a few kids the results changed, I interviewed Evie Kneebone and here are her responses: 

What are you doing in maths today?

We were learning about sums and adding.

What are you enjoying in maths at the moment?

I'm enjoying learning about numbers to 100, adding and number lines!

Now onto you Holly!

I interviewed Axel Proctor:

What are you doing in maths today?

We are doing number stories

What is your number story about? 

Axel said that he wanted to do his number story about lollies with his partner Keon Hepner. I asked Keon what he was drawing. He responded, “I’m drawing a shop!” “Are you partners with Axel? Are you drawing lollies with Axel?” Keon had to think for a little bit but eventually said “Yes, Axel is my partner.” After a bit more thinking he responded “Yes I’m going to do lollies with Axel.”

Finally carrying on Maygan and Ava! 

We interviewed Aalayh Hill and Thomas Hudgell. Aalayh and Thomas said that they were really enjoying maths because they love to learn. You're probably all glad to hear that. Aalayh said that she had to make a maths story and add all of the numbers together from the story. And share all of their stories back on the floor.
