Super Mathematicians

In Maths, we have been learning that “teen” means one 10 so then we know that a “teen” word is ones plus 10. For example, sixteen means six and 10. Then we went on to learn that “ty” at the end of words means many “tens”. So we know that “sixty” is six tens. The children use ice-block sticks to model this. Check back later for some photos of the class in action with this learning.

This all looks very exciting, I love cooking and making bubbles. Looks as if you have a lot of fun at school in New Zealand. From Helen in London
