Mathematics - Term Two 2023

In Term Two we explored topics from Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.

In Number and Algebra, students applied their number sense and strategies for counting and representing numbers and explore the properties of numbers. We focussed on place value, fractions, addition and subtraction building to automatic recall of number facts to 20. 

Students have enjoyed completing a lot of hands on activities such as playing race to 120, drawing cards to make the biggest number, completing hundreds chart puzzled or rolling dice then adding the faces to create the biggest total. 

We have looked at collections of money for recognition and counting collections to find the total. We have been challenged to make specific totals as many different ways as we can. We have begun to look at the change given when a purchase is made.

In Measurement and Geometry, students have been developing their understanding of Time including reading and recording time on both digital and analogue clocks.   

Inquiry - Egg Construction Activity

During Week 8, Year Two students had the opportunity to design and construct a vessel to safely transport a hollow chocolate Easter Egg. They chose a force that we had studied, such as, buoyancy, push, pull, air pressure, magnetism, and inclined planes and gravity. Some students also used resistances such as friction and air resistance. The students thoroughly enjoyed the task and were very creative. They also loved eating thier egg at the end of the day! :)

Thank you for an amazing term. We hope you all have a lovely break and we can't wait to see all our students bright and cheerful in Term Three!
