Year 2 with Renee: Maths

TERM 4:

This term we will be finishing off measurement by looking at Volume, Capacity and Mass.
We will then be spending most of our Maths lessons looking at Multiplication and Division. These are very important topics for students to understand and therefore we will be spending the rest of the term focusing on these. At the end of the year we revise - look at what we have learned and what we can remember!

Symmetry

The students have loved the symmetry work this week. We have made butterflies, and some students even made their own notebook files to teach others about symmetry. This is Claudia's notebook file:

Mapping - Bird's Eye View

Room 1 have been looking at maps, directions, and bird's eye views of objects. In our focus group we worked together to make a bird's eye view of our classroom. Here are 2 of the groups views. It was very interesting to watch how the students worked together and what they created first, and how they overcome the problems they faced. Well done Room 1 for your persistence!
