Maths Talk at Hoon Hay School

At our school we work with a maths mate and share our thinking with them. We ask questions about our maths and if we aren't sure of something, we explain how we do it. We know that 2 brains are often better than one and we enjoy working collaboratively. 

Today Abbey and I worked on solving this problem. We used a number line to solve this. " Kyla, Mya and Grace went to the movies. Their tickets cost $14.60 each. How much did their tickets cost altogether?"

How would you solve this?

Our trip to the Art gallery and the Museum

Kia ora, on the 13th of June we went to the Museum and the art gallery. At the art gallery we made a waka huia out of water colours and card. A waka huia is a special box that the chief would keep his huia feathers and the box would hang from the rafters. At the Museum we learnt all about solar energy. We made solar powered cars! Although they didn’t work because it was grey rainy day. I loved the museum and the art gallery, I really want to go again. Here are some photos, hope you enjoy them!   

We got to touch a Green stone!

Anthony was our tour guide, he was teaching us about solar energy!

Here I am, designing my waka huia.

This was our team car, Mr. Pushee!
