Multiplication roll em!

A game we have been learning and practising during maths rotations....

Multiplication roll em! 

WALT recall times tables 

How to play:

Player 1 rolls two dice. He or she multiplies the numbers together to find the product.
Player 2 does the same.
Circle the math fact with the highest total.
They player who had the highest total wins the round.
Play 18 rounds.
The overall winner is the player with the most wins.

EG.

Player 1           Player 2
2x3=6              2x4=8              Player 2 wins this round

P.S. The product is the answer you get when you multiply (times) two numbers together! 

Maths Game - I LOVE MATHS!

-->

This week we have been playing "I Like Maths" but we love maths in room 5 so we call it...

 "I LOVE MATHS"

WALT Quickly recall basic addition facts

From nzmaths - http://nzmaths.co.nz/node/1470  

 I Like Maths

Purpose:

• To develop quick recall of basic addition facts or multiplication.

You need:

• Nothing

How to play:

• Two players stand facing each other with their hands behind their backs.
• They leave one hand behind their backs and bring the other hand forward in a fist.
• Each player shakes their fist three times as they chant “I like maths”.
• They then extend fingers from their fists.
• The players look at the two sets of fingers and add them together. For example, player one may have extended five fingers and player two two so the answer is seven. 
• They then repeat the action changing the number of fingers they are extending after the chant.

Variations:

• Once the children are confident and quick using one hand you could play the game using two hands each.
• Practice using tens and hundreds. Their fingers could represent more than 1. For example when the child shows three fingers they are counting them as tens so they are adding thirty to the tens their partner is showing.
• Play this game using multiplication.

Room 5 loves maths...

Do you? We have been learning addition and subtraction.....

First person to comment with the answer to this problem, will get a chocolate freddo from Room 5!


6 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 5 = ______

Maths Game of the Week - Traffic Light

We have been learning to play traffic light at maths time.

Traffic light  is a game where you guess the number using thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. It is all about PLACE VALUE!

You have four columns - Thousands, Hundreds, Tens and Ones. 

The teacher or a student secretly picks a four digit number. E.G. 2468

The class takes guesses to work out what the number is. You have to say a four digit number guessing the numbers but keep track of which numbers can go where. 

If the teacher puts a red circle around the number it means - wrong number, wrong place. 
If the teacher puts an orange (or blue) circle around the number it means - right number, wrong place. 
If the teacher puts a green circle around the number it means - right number, right place. 

It helps us learn our place value, and helps us read and write numbers. 

P.S. We need to get an orange whiteboard pen so it looks more like a traffic light!!!!

Tune in again next week for "Rocket"... Followed by "Three in a Row".

Geometry

For the first four weeks of term one we learnt about shapes. We learnt to identify and name 2D and 3D shapes. We learnt to sort shapes and describe shapes.

 

What shapes can you see in this house?

Playing match the shape to it's description!

Sorting 3D shapes. We used real life objects.
