Play Sumdog with Mr Reid and Miss Deans – Spicy/Hot – Numeracy – Term 4 – Week 2

Good morning everyone

If your child has a Sumdog account, they will be able to play with Mr Reid and Miss Deans between 12pm – 1pm today.

Mr Reid will be playing – Dance

Miss Deans will be playing – High Rise

Each game will start on a 5 minute interval, meaning that the first game will start at 12pm, then 12.05pm, 12.10pm etc.

When selecting ‘Who do you want to play against?’ – Select ‘Class’.

We have added every teacher to each class, so we should all be able to play together!

We look forward to playing Sumdog with you all.

Mild Numeracy – Sharing – using symbols

Thank you so much for all the photographs you have sent  showing you sharing an amount of objects equally.

Let’s think about sharing a box of crayons.

Dividing a box of crayons equally between jars.

We can write number stories using symbols.

This is the symbol we use for sharing.

÷

There is one dot on each side of the line. Both have the same.

I think it looks like two people sitting across from each other, ready to be kind and share with each other.

Have a look at these examples.

Numeracy: MILD – Data Handling, Your Answers.

Your answers are in!

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey.

When you gather in information it can be called ‘raw data’ like raw chicken you can’t do much with it, so you have to do something in order for it to be used. For instance, cooking the chicken or presenting the data in a way that is readable.

Below is a list of the data that has been collated. Your task is to use the data given and present it in a readable manner. This could be in the form of a pictogram, bar graph or pie chart.  Look through the sway below on suggestions and reminders when presenting the information.
