Creating repeating and growing patterns for Algebra

-

 The last few days we have been challenging each other with working out if we have been making repeating or growing patterns in Maths.  We have also been finding ways to make a code to follow so that we can name the patterns we have also been making or studying, and also beginning to predict what will come next in the sequence. Today we began working on increasing and decreasing pattern sequences, and how tables can be made to show the changing patterns.  Our next challenge for tomorrow is to use each other's creations to predict what might come in the 5th, 10th or 12th position, or even the number of cubes we would need to make them.

Lockdown at home - baking with Luke

 Many of you have tried different types of baking and cooking while you have been on lockdown.  You have shared your mugcakes, birthday cakes, dinners and other culinary delights while learning at home. It's not often you get to sit in with an Intermediate class when you are a Year 3 or Year 4, but like most families, Luke's mum has been working from home and teaching.  He joined her class the other day to make biscuits.  His Mum even gave us a report on how he went: Luke baked biscuits with my class this morning. He did a great job keeping up with one of our teachers and only need a little help.  They tasted delicious.  Ka rawe Luke, they look delicious too.

Experiments with Force and Motion

As part of our exploration into Force and Motion, we have been making Marble Runs, Marble Mazes and Domino Chains. Cyrus created an effective chain of DVD cases and books, beginning his chain by rolling a ball towards it and also getting it to run around a corner. With the challenge on to experiment with a large run of dominoes, Joshua built a superbly complex design. He used a range of layered dominoes, a car race track and a small car to launch his chain. If you would like more information or to see what others have created and learnt, please scroll down to the padlets below and view our class work which is getting updated and added to most days.
