Coordinate Code Breaker

As one of their maths tasks this week, students practiced reading and writing coordinates by writing Coded Messages.

Here is the Code Breaker you need to use. Each letter of the alphabet has its own unique coordinate. For example, the letter T is on E9

Can you use the Code Breaker to read these students' coded messages? Don't forget to post your own coded messages for other students to try!

Treasure Hunt Maps

Here are some cool maps that Advika and Anoushka drew for maths. If you fancy yourself a treasure hunter, then try following these directions and see if you can make your way across the island on the right path.

Remember that you can do some activities on paper. Just ask someone to take a clear photo and send it to your teacher if you want us to see.

Maths: Word Problems

These word problems were written by Mahika. Can you work out what the equation is for each problem and how to solve it? Can you solve one problem with more than one strategy?

1. Caleb made 203 masks. The next day he made 375 more. How many masks did he make altogether?
   
2. Joanna has 25 friends and she has 50 lollies to share evenly with her friends. How many lollies would each friend get?
   
3. John has 2 packs of tennis balls. Each pack contains 20 balls. How many balls are there altogether?
   
4. Elise has 153 pieces of artwork. Elise makes 231 more paintings. How many masterpieces does Elise have now?
   
5. Louise has 7 containers of paint and in each container, there are 3 sets of colours in them. How many sets of colours are there altogether?
   
6. Laura has 140.00 to spend on whatever she wants. She spends 73.00 how many dollars does she have left?
   
7. Tom is having a birthday party and he has invited 13 guests. Tom has to make his goodie bags and he has 26 items to share with his friends. How many goodies would each guest get?   
   
8. Isaac had 254 apples and he ate 138 of them. How many apples does Isaac have left?

2D Shapes Angle Scavenger Hunt

On Friday, Room 2 went on a scavenger hunt in their classroom. The students worked in pairs and practiced identifying different types of angles - right angles, acute angles and obtuse angles. With $100, $50 and $25 Banqer rewards on the line, there was fierce competition to be the first students to get all 12 shapes right. After 30 minutes and several attempts by their classmates, Anika, Jack, Arhan, Aurel, Tanisha and Zoey managed to name all the shapes and accurately identify the different angles in each shape. A very close result!

Visual Numbers

Back in Week 1 and 2, the students learned about how great mathematicians think and how anybody can develop a "maths brain" through practice. One way to develop a maths brains is noticing patterns and visualising numbers. Here are some visual number patterns students worked on to help them become better mathematicians.
