Times Tables Facts

The students have been learning their times tables facts so that they can use them to help with other areas of maths. During both classtime and for homework, students have been looking for patterns to help them with remembering the different facts and help with mental strategies. At this level, students should know their 2's, 5's and 10's facts, and be moving onto learning others. The students have recorded their tables facts to show their understandings and how well they remember each fact.

My Times tables

= My Term 3 Numeracy Tasks = Multiplication Pre & Post Test During term 3 we looked at Multiplication and Times Tables as one of our Number topics in maths. Students learnt strategies to multipy, including arrays, groups of, times tables facts, looking for patterns and mental strategies (such as adding a 0 to the end of a number when you multiply by 10). Before the students started the unit, they completed a pre-test to find out their prior knowledge and identified their areas for improvement. At the conclusion of the unit, students completed a post test to show what they had learnt.



Time Post Test During term 3 we looked at Time as one of our Measurement topics in maths. At the conclusion of the unit, students completed a test to show their understandings.

= Numeracy Week Activities =

During Numeracy Week the grade 3/4 students went out into the playground and created a number trail for the grade 1/2's to follow. Students had to come up with 10 questions that involved maths in the playground. The questions had to send the grade 1 and 2 students on a trail around the playground, starting and finishing in the same place. The students were allowed to created a list of questions and/or a map.

Addition and Subtraction Pre & Post Test

During term 4 we looked at Addition and Subtraction as one of our Number topics in maths. Students learnt strategies to add and subtraction 3, 4 and 5 digit numbers using vertical addition/subtraction with trading. Before the students started the unit, they completed a pre-test to find out their prior knowledge and identified their areas for improvement. At the conclusion of the unit, students completed the test again in red pen as a post test, to show what they had learnt.



Angles Post Test During term 4 we looked at Angles as one of our Measurement topics in maths. At the conclusion of the unit, students completed a test to show their understandings.
