This week we have been successful learners when looking at estimating and subitising in numeracy. We have been challenging ourselves to estimate quantities and have had a go at daily esti-mysteries where we have to use the clues to help us make a more accurate estimate.
We have also been working in small groups where one person put out a handful of counters and everyone then had to estimate how many counters were laid out. We then worked together to check our estimates by counting, thinking about how to arrange the counters (in rows of 5 or 10) to then get the total amount by skip counting.
To test our knowledge of climate zones and animal habitats we all worked together to sort animals into their climate zone based on what their habitats are like. We noticed how most of our polar zone animals were white and discussed why we thought they all had this in common.
