Maths in Year 3

Learning Intention: to model and show commonly used fractions.

On the 27th of May, Year 3 have been using fractions to our pizzas equally. We have a pizza shop where we have been visualising how to cut our pieces of pizza so everyone gets an equal share. We have been using fractions such as halves, quarters, thirds, eighths, thirty seconds and sixty fourths. 3W made a number line from 0-1 using the fractions of pizza. We found the bigger the denominator the closer the fraction is to 0.

Footy Knock Out

On Friday the 29th of May 2015, Lewis W and Darragh M went to the Footy Knock Out with a number of other Year 3 students. We got to school at 7:45am and left on the bus at 8am.

According to Lewis and Darragh the day was great because Liam scored a try in his 3rd game ever and we had a draw against the hardest team in the competition. The boys agreed that Darragh having a head clash with a friend from baseball and losing three games were not a good parts of the day.
