Finishing off Maths Week with a FUN filled day of Mathematical Challenges!

Working in small groups of 4,

The classes in year two completed a four class rotation today taking in the Strand activities  of Time, Temperature, Measuring Length, Capacity, Volume and Construction. Here are a few photos from the Time and Temperature activities from our own room. 

The winning structure in the "given' time frame.

Here the groups were challenged in building the tallest structure TOGETHER. 

Paddle Pops and pegs were used with some ingenious solutions.

Time  and Temperature activity challenges.

Timing the Marble roll in SECONDS on the I pad stopwatch.

Stacking uneven shapes isn't as easy as it looks, lots of strategising and problem solving needed to succeed .

Time keeping a new skill for some!

Using a Thermometer also was a new skill for some children....they were quite fascinated by the rise and fall of the mercury in different temperature liquids

More photos will come to hand for viewing but you can imagine it is difficult photographing and Teaching. 

A wonderful day of learning , however I'm sure they will all sleep well tonight.
