Maths Problem

 Kia ora

We have been learning about how to use Compatible Numbers. Compatible Numbers are any two numbers which add together to make a Tidy Number 

(a  number which ends in zero).  We had to choose two Compatible Numbers and another number. Then we had to think of a word problem which used our numbers and give the problem to a buddy to solve. Mrs Ogle, our maths facilitator, said this is called 'posing problems'.

Joe has 7 sheep,  Harry has 3 sheep and Bob has 4 sheep.  How many sheep do they have altogether?

7 + 3 = 10

10 + 4 = 14

Skiing Day One

 Last week our class went to Mt Ruapehu to ski. On our first skiing day I was really happy. I ate all my breakfast. Then we got on the bus. Here is a picture of Kyle and I on the bus with all our skiing gear on.
