Term 3 Inquiry - follow up

This term has been busy filled with filming for Film Festival, however I am teaching and learning Yr 2 level maths topics to try and fill in the gaps (based on JAM test results from Term 2). Topics covered over this 10 week term have been; identifying geometrical shapes, systematical counting, skip counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. The children have covered Place Value, Multiplication and Division, Equal Groups and Arrays, and Measurement. We have used resources and equipment along the way to seal concrete foundations and to cater for our kinaesthetic learners and those chosen Priority Learners as well. This has been a successful way to teach and learn maths skills using a hands on practical approach. The children really enjoyed measuring different objects using plastic rulers, looking closely at the numbers from 0-30 in centimetres. They also enjoyed comparing heights of who is the tallest and who is the shortest in our class!
