Curriculum and Learning

Numeracy

This week classes have had a go at a common assessment task (CAT) to dig into students' problem solving skills. All classes use the same task for staff to get together to moderate and discuss to inform future planning of curriculum. As staff we are focusing on the working out we see on the page and the ideas we hear, NOT JUST the final product/answer. 

Have a go and see how you go!

1 - How many different DOUBLE-scoop ice-cream cones can be made using the flavours vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and banana? 

2 - Mr Wright is repainting his house. He is looking at colour charts and has to choose from blue, green or silver for his roof, and red, brown, gold, purple or cream for the walls. How many different paint combinations can he choose? 

Free Choice Fun Friday

Every Friday Foundation/1 work on our numeracy skills by choosing our own math games to play. Today we played Number Bingo, Dominoes, Beetle, Subatising Memory and Friends of 10.
