Ten room three students attended the Combined Otorohanga Primary Schools Mathletics Competition today. Although we didn't gain any of the top three places, it was a great learning experience for the students. Well done Max, Samuel, Kahnn, Holly, Kayla, Anna, Sharnay, Christopher, Jamie and Devinn.

This was our warm up for maths at the start of the term. We put it up on the wall in the corridor. Samuel, Holly and Kendall have made a voice thread about the challenge. Come and have a look and see if you can help fill in the gaps.
You can see this voicethread full screen at.. the voicethread website.

We work in groups often in room 3...this helps those more able students to cement their learning and scaffold others who may need more assistance. Lucy, Jack and Tyler are working to solve a maths problem....where do you put the + signs between 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 and 1 to = 99.....?  They solved it two ways...can you?
