Week Nine

The last week of Term 3. It has been fantastic to see the progress being made this term. Our blog has had 147 new visitors and nearly 500 page views.
Attached are more photos of the work we have been doing. It is important to note the understanding being developed behind the Family of Facts work. We used materials to initially construct the times tables and look for patterns. It is also important to explore the concept of the commutative law of multiplication, equally important is that it cannot be used for division. With this understood the children quickly realised that by knowing 1 fact (eg 4 x 5 = 20) they could easily construct the other 3 facts in the family.
Hopefully everyone has a good break and i look forward to great progress in Term 4.
