Term Two Week One

Hi everyone,
Week One has come to an end and the children in Central Maths Stars have had an excellent start.
We have spent a mojority of the week focussing on the language -number- visual links.
For example 67, or 6 tens and 7 ones, is said as "Sixty-seven". The sixty tell us it is 6 tens because the "Ty" part of the word means tens and the "Six" at the start tells us how many tens.
During the next week we will trial some games/activities related to these ideas and extending place value understanding.
We encourage you to share these activities with your whanau and to post comments on our blog.
Have a great week.

Here are some examples of how we linked a visual representation of numbers with numbers on the hundreds board.

47   4 tens and 7 ones



57   5 tens and 7 ones



67   6 tens and 7 ones
