Problem solving approach

This week in maths we worked on developing our problem solving skills, using the method on the right, kindly shared by Carol. My students need to use these strategies to solve the 1.1 number problems assessment in maths. 


The pictures below were created by Mr Morgan's class, who are studying tapa cloth. they used drawing tools in MS word (or OpenOffice) on their netbooks to create repeating patterns based on natural shapes and colours. 


Computing words in Te Reo Maori

I made these posters to help my students pick up a wee bit of reo that they can use in the classroom. I like how they came out, but unfortunately I still can't seem to remember the words myself, darn it!

...anyway, they are creative commons attribute share alike, and available on my facebook page.
