Term 3 is in full swing and in Mathematics we have been exploring the attributes of 2D shapes. Our students have had fun exploring and gaining knowledge about the features of 2D shapes.  We have been using a variety of materials to help us learn.  We are developing our mathematical language to enable us to describe the features of 2D shapes, including curved and straight sides, corners, shape names, vertical, horizontal and parallel lines.  We are also learning to say parallelogram to describe all 4 sided shapes, but it is a tricky word! In Mathematics we are also focusing on number, in particular we are working on subitising, number facts initially to 10 and partitioning as a strategy for addition and subtraction.  This is to increase our number knowledge to solve everyday problems.  As you can see in the photos we are focused learners who engage in our learning tasks and earn lots of Ardy tickets each week
