Room6@Sunnyhills

On Monday, Room 6 used Math Talk Moves to get us thinking about all of the different strategies we know to solve Division. Miss Stuhlmann wrote 80/4 on the whiteboard and then gave us time to think about all the different ways we could solve the problem. When then took turns to share our strategies to the class and have a discussion about which ones we use the most and which ones we would like to learn. We came up with: - Equal sharing using skip counting - Halving and then halving again - Splitting factors - Reversibility (using multiplication instead) - Place Value - Short division Miss Stuhlmann also introduced us to Equal halving. Come and ask one of the room 6 students to explain how to use these strategies, we love to share our knowledge.

In room 6 for the last four weeks we have been using an amazing kit to help us develop our knowledge about Statistics and Measurement. We have researched what it takes to create a world record, created our own records and now we are testing and challenging them. While we are testing our records we are using lots of mathematical language, measuring things using the metric system, converting measurements, collecting data, organising data, analysing data and soon we will be presenting and displaying data. We are having so much fun working with friends and using our Sunnyhills GEMS to help us create our world records. Check out some of the photos from today!
