Laurence Math starter - Tables Torture

Thhis is an activity that we do each Thursday as a math starter. Today we learnt that if you multiply a negative number by a positive number the answer will be a negative. However if you multiply two negative numbers together the answer will be a positive number. How do you think Laurence went?

  What i have done is math starters and got they many right and wring.

School Census

Last Tuesday our class took part in the nation wide census at schools initiative involving over 775 schools from not only Aotearoa but also Australia, the Cook Islands the United Kingdom, Canada, the US, Japan and South Africa.

This year, the questions asked were to investigate Kiwi kids thoughts about issues as wide-ranging as climate change, the amount of time they spend on digital devices, and how they handle interpersonal issues. The data is collected sorted and then put into graphs for us all to check out later in July!
