Mathematics Learning - Term 2

For the first half of this term the students were working on learning the language of Geometry - position and orientation.

The Yellow, Red and Purple groups learnt to use prepositions accurately for example above, around, in, on, under, behind and in front.

These junior students are placing pictures on a scene by following instructions which include prepositions.



The Green and Blue groups learnt the language of mapping for example clockwise, anti-clockwise, left, right, North, South, West and East, whole, half and quarter turns.

After following oral instructions to reach their destination, these senior students are hunting for buried pirate treasure.



They then created maps and instructions of their own.

The Green and Blue groups are now learning about Measurement - capacity and weight. The students are applying their knowledge and vocabulary by baking for their visit to Mayfair Rest Home in Week 9.
