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! 

Whole Class Google Meet

I have now had 4 full class google meet sessions. They have been awesome and it is a much easier way to communicate with you all. Thank you to those of you who popped in. 

Why we use google meet: 

- You can directly ask me any questions about your school work

- You can catch up with and discuss with other classmates

- I can clarify my instructions 

- I send out resources or show you something cool everyday! 

Today our class session ended with a game of Scribblio.

I would like to congratulate myself for winning. 

Join next time to see if you can beat me in the next game!
