P3B Showing Creativity in Numeracy

In Numeracy, we have been using our new geo boards to help us learn multiplication. We always use a concrete, pictorial and abstract approach and we talk about the groups we make to show a calculation.

We have been using the geo boards to make arrays. Last week, we worked hard to make groups of 10 and we could talk confidently about the arrays we made. The photo at the bottom shows Finlay’s creativity with the geo boards. He used the elastic bands to show a calculation in a different way and he enjoyed sharing his strategy. This started a new trend in class as his peers started using the boards in the same way. Well done everyone!

Article 13: We have the right to find out things and share what we think with others.

“10 x 3 = 30.”
