As part of the Key Competency of 'Thinking', we've been reviewing the use of graphic organisers.
We use them while reading and in our topic work.
We also used a graphic organiser to help us solve the maths problems that our friends in
have written, based on
the fairy tales they are learning about.
People like to solve problems in different ways, so our graphic organiser has spaces to: draw a picture or diagram, use real things, to write a word problem, and to write an equation.

Thanks P-1-2, we enjoyed solving some of your math problems.
B4 children and others, post your own math problem as a comment!
Dear B4,
ReplyDeleteWhat terrific work you have all been doing in Maths! I just love that you got your problems off P-2 @ Harston. It is fun to learn with our friends around the world.
This week in 2KM and 2KJ, we have been doing some subtraction stories.
Here is a story for you
There were 43 students in 2KM and 2KJ. 13 of them went to New Zealand to visit their friends in B4. How many were left in 2KM and 2KJ?
Best wishes,
Mrs M☀rris
PS - wouldn't it be fun if this subtraction story was really true!
Hi B4,
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely surprise this morning to see that you had been using our maths work for your maths work.
I really liked your graphic organisers. They are a great way to see maths problems in different ways.
Mrs Morris is very right - it is lovely to learn with our friends around the world.
from Mrs W
P.S. Do you think when the students from 2KM and 2KJ come to visit you in New Zealand, I could come with them?
hi B4 we have been subtracting hundreds. Do you know what 800-684?

Dear B4,
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific use of a graphic organizer! My classes have used them for social studies and for reading, but never in this way using it as word problem, equation, and diagram/picture. Another great thing to share when school start here in a few weeks!
I am a visual person and often draw pictures to solve problem. However, it is a good idea to think about it in other ways too. It stretches the mind!
Here is a word problem for you:
Mrs. Yollis was snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean. A school of butterflyfish was swimming nearby. There were 15 butterflyfish in the school. Then an orangespine unicorn fish joined the group along with 3 yellow tangs. How many fish did Mrs. Yollis see?
Thanks for the link to the great post by P-2@Harston in Australia. Like Mrs. Morris said, it's so much fun to learn from one another!
Your friend,
Mrs. Y♥llis
