Promblem Solving

In Te Maunga we have been doing math problem solving.Maths Problem solving is when we get put into groups of three or four. Everyday we get a problem and figure ways to find out the answer. This term some of us put our names down for reading decimals and times,add,sub,write and making decimals.This week we have been basing it on MATARIKI (Māori - New Year.) Today's Problem was a astronaut counted a number of 53 stars and we had to see what the answer will be if we times it by 5 & 7. We have target students that are in each group and they have been learning centimeters,metres,kilometres and much more. Our Maths group collaborates but sometime I don't really use our talk moves.

He tino reka He tino kawa

n term 2 in Te Maunga we have been learning the māori word for Sweet and Sour. Our teacher Mrs Pou cut some kai up for us to eat. After all of us tried some she would ask us if it was Sweet which is REKA and Sour is KAWA. She would also say Titiro ki te ____nei ? (look at this____) and we would reply He tino reka or kawa (it is ____)
