Mathematics: The strategies we are learning!

I have had many parents come and ask about the maths in Room 8. The children in Room 8 maths are being challenged and learning new strategies.
Some strategies are hard to grasp, however the children learn and apply the strategy over a few weeks.
The children are exploring larger numbers and values, this has had some children loose confidence. Practise makes perfect! We learn by doing and experiencing.

Room 8 maths children have a new best friend named Tidy Numbers and also we are going to conquer Mt Everest (new strategies).

The Room 8 maths class is also being tested daily on the multiplication facts. The children should be learning these at home.

I am sure many parents would like to know what strategies the children are learning and I have made a video display of how the strategy is applied.

Please feel free to post comments or ask questions.
