Mathematical Thinking

We continued our mathematical thinking today... we measured our chains and looked at who had the longest chain and who had the smallest.  We counted the links it took to make our chains... the longest chain had 17 links, but one other chain had 31 links.  Jack and Kalani had made the longest chain and told us that their strategy was to cut long ways and to cut skinny strips of paper to make their chain.
Tomorrow we will be measuring our chains using special bee rulers...

We have also been using dominoes to create number sentences.  Here are some of our sentences for the number 14 -

    You have a very cool background on your blog! We really like your marvellous photos.

    We have been looking around at your blog, and we like the Maths that you have been doing. We have actually been measuring lots of stuff too.

    We can see that you have been practising writing numbers. We noticed that sometimes you get your 3's around the wrong way. We wanted to be helpful and suggest that you check with the teacher or around the classroom to see which way they go. We know that you are trying your best to do a 3!

    We are wondering what your bee rulers are. Do you think that you could post a picture of them?

    Keep up the great learning!
