Basic Facts Practise

Looking for another way to practise basic facts at home? Head to this website.
Click here ---> Prototec Basic Facts Website
The parts of each stage may not match exactly to the rungs on the Redwood Basic Facts ladder, but do reflect what each child needs to know at each math stage. Students in after 3 years at school should be working at early stage 5. Before this however, stages 2-3 and 4 need to be known well :) What is really great about this website is that it marks the answers and you have two options - to be timed, or to do it as a sheet.

 Have fun!

Exploring fractions

Last Friday, Room 12 had fun exploring fractions. Room 12 were asked to make and find fractions using anything and everything from around the room such as Lego, playdough, paper and math blocks! They had to make sure that if they were making fractions, the parts of the whole had to be equal/ the same. This helped us refresh our minds about what fractions are and ways fractions can be found. Here's a few pictures of our fun creations.
