Measurement

This week we have finished a unit on Weight (sometimes called Mass). We used our new scales and a variety of classroom equipment to explore the concepts of heavy, heavier, light and lighter. We put objects in order, according to their weight. We also used bags of 10 beads to weigh soft toys. We were surprised to find that some of them weighed as much as 200 beads.

Mrs Dakers can you take a photo of this please?

Look at some of the things we create when we have finished our other work. Pretty impressive! Of course I can take photos Kindle 2 - that way we have a record of our creations.

How Many Girls and Boys in Kindle 2?

In Maths we are studying Statistics. We are learning to ask questions, sort objects into groups then count to find the answer. We are learning to display the information we gather. We are learning to make statements about the information displayed on a graph. To find the answer to the question 'How many girls and boys in Kindle 2?' we lined up in a girls line and a boys line. We counted each line. This is what we found out: in Kindle 2 there are 6 girls and 8 boys. We displayed the information by taking a photo and making a graph.
