Odd and Even by Anau

That’s Odd

We have been learning about Even and Odd numbers.

Every morning Group 2 use maths book and a math sheet to learn different strategies for solving sums. We’ve been learning about odd numbers and even numbers, it was really easier to solve because its like addition but you have to explain what is odd or even. This maths sum is really easy to answer.

For example:

3+17=20 which is Even because I can half. 10 + 10 =20

11+2=13 which is odd because it doesn't make a half.

This game helps me with my time tables and addition. You have to click on the answers and the man will give you the fruit. The time tables is too easy and addition is because it is just adding up stuff.

Filling in the Gaps by Siua

This week for math my group was working on a fraction worksheet. We were working on equivalent fractions. It is easy because it is just like simplifying fractions. Then we put the fractions in it's simplest form. The hardest thing was filling in the gaps with = or ?.

This Week for Maths my Group have been working on how to solve Addition and Subtraction using different strategies and our number knowledge. When I first tried this it looked difficult. When I read the WALT I think I kind of know what to do. This went kind of easy and hard for me. Even though I got some answers wrong or right it didn't really matter I still enjoyed it. When It came to the last part it went hard. I still tried to get the answer.  I enjoyed doing this. I think this could help us in maths, because when we are stuck on a sum we could use another strategy to get the answer.
