Many ways to make 10

 Look at all the ways we can make groups that equal ten!

Yesterday we made a video of our groups.

Today we looked at some of the patterns we saw in the video and wrote them as numbers. Lots of clever thinkers in Moana!

Sound Sorting Machines

We were computer programmers today, using sorting machines to sort out which things made the loudest and softest sounds from pictures we had cut out.

First, we cut out pictures of things in magazines that made noise.

Then we put six pictures at a time through a sorting machine. This helped us decide how to put them in order, from softest to loudest. Some were tricky decisions - what is louder out of a person breathing or water in a lake? What about children playing on a bed or children playing in a bathtub? 

When our six pictures were sorted, we glued them in order on strips of paper.

We also drew sound representations of our own. Do you see how they go from soft to loud? The children were creative and showed this in many ways.

We stayed in sorting moods for Maths afterwards, sorting out shapes in many different ways.
