Maths learning - Fractions and Geometry

This week we started our Geometry unit and also looked at fractions of shapes. We had lots of fun making our 3D shapes which are up on our wall for you to come and check out. Also to reinforce our learning, we cut up pikelets into halves and quarters (and got to eat them of course!) Wow, we are becoming amazing learners in Room 15!

Thank you!

It was so wonderful to see all the parents at the recent parent/teacher conferences. I think it is so vital to share not only the celebrations for your child's learning but also the next steps.
