Maths is Fun!

In Kea this term we have been doing lots of cool 'stations' for Maths.
 We have been using the new iPad 2's for our learning. We go on multitouch math and math bingo where we have to work together to solve multiplication problems....

We have also been doing something called the Magic Mixer where you mix up all the numbers on the mixer and then you have to try to make the number in the middle with the numbers on the outside.
We also do a Place Value board which ,what we have to  is create a number on one side and do what it says on a bit of paper like +10 and +100 + 0.01 etc.

We also play fraction dominoes where you have to match up the fraction with the answer and that is what makes math time so much fun.

Welcome To you all!!

Hello Kea Class, and welcome to 2012!
A new location for year 7/8 but still the same exciting intermediate timetable ahead of us!
Wow what a lot of you there are. This year we start as 30 children. 5 of you are new- fantastic! Lets all ensure that we get to know each other very quickly.
As you can see the blog is very empty so we need to get things rolling as fast as we can. Last year in Whio class we managed 15,000+ views on our blog - I wonder if we can beat that this year?

Watch this space in the weeks that follow.
Encourage your families to view and use the blog to help with your learning.
I will be adding many website links as the weeks go by.
You will notice that there is already a homework page - unlucky!!
Make sure you visit this every week, and complete the tasks given.

Above all - work hard, and have fun- Its going to be an awesome year!
