Lattice Strategy

 

Today we practiced our Lattice Multiplication Strategy again and here are our results. Some students challenged themselves to do it with three-digit numbers. Have a look and see if you can work out how they do it! 

CHALLENGE: 

Can you do this strategy with thousands?

Lattice Strategy - Double Digit Multiplication

 We have been doing a lot of work around multiplication. This includes multiplying decimals, double digit numbers and solving multiplication word problems. In our google meet this morning, I showed the students a Maths strategy that can be used for double digit multiplication. 

Here is some working from Kalivati and Skylah. These two caught on very quickly! Click the picture below. 

Can you try and apply this same strategy for triple-digit multiplication? 
Give it a go at home!

Our Weather Writing Task


Click the picture below to have a look at our quick writing task today! We are learning about Natural disasters, so our quick write is weather themed. We had to write a blurb about the weather outside today without using the words RAIN or DARK. This practices to skill of showing not telling. We want to describe the scene rather than just state what you can see. 


We completed this in our 9am Google Meet session this morning. These happen every school day!
