Tidy Number Strategy

WALT: We are learning to use the making tens/tidy number strategy

9+6=?
I know that 6-1=5
Take the 1 and add it on the 9
9+1=10
then take the 5 and add it on to the 10
10+5=15
So, 9+6=15

7+6=?
I know that 7+3=10
Take the 3 and add it and on to the 10
10+3=13
So, 7+6=13

It was a little bit hard I liked it because I like learning hard things


Do you know any strategies?

Number Bonds

WALT: We are learning number bonds to 10,20,50 and 100.

8+2=10

5+5=10

42+8=50

50+0=50

15+5=20

10+10=20

50+50=100

99+1=100

A number bond is two numbers that make a tidy number.

I liked it because it was easy and I can get it done quickly.

Do you know any more number bonds?

Waitangi day

WALT: We are learning about Waitangi day.

What should I do next time?

On Sunday I had my birthday at the lake and swam all day and  never got out because I was too cold and too warm in the water. When Nikau came in the water we went  bombing on the paddle board, out deep.

Then we lost the paddle board and told my Dad. He came out with us and found the paddle at bottom of the lake standing up. Then he had a swim with Mum. When I got out to have my cake, I was ice cold, so I got my towel and munched all the sausage rolls. After I hopped hopped back in the water I had a quick swim before we left.

Koro and the Taniwha

WALT retell the story of Koro and the Taniwha

Koro tricked the Taniwha by sending it to the wrong place. The Taniwha swam off. Koro paddled and paddled to the island. The Taniwha was mad and followed Koro. Koro saw some bubbles coming towards him, so he went back to the island and made a deal with the Taniwha. The Taniwha went away forever and never came back.
