Maths with Whaea Dianne:
Today we had Whaea Dianne come in and teach us some maths. If you don't know who Whaea Dianne is, she is a teacher that comes in now and then to teach us some hard ish maths and also show how the teachers should teach us maths. For a warm up she gave us about 15 or so numbers and told us what two numbers that relate some how. Some of the Number were 150, 300, 200 ,2, 10, 6.4, 3.2, 32, 64, and 15. For today's activity we had a hand call Harry's Hand, and with the hand we had to measure with it. We had to measured some letters that were on this paper which was called our map. We obviously in groups, of course, and well we had to measure with the Harry's Hand. While going through the maths activity there were stuff that we asked questions about. When going through she brought out different types of Harry Hands. Closer to the end she showed us equivalent fractions that could help us with our measuring. For me, I will say that the easy thing was just adding the whole number measures, but the thing I found hard was adding the decimal numbers to the whole numbers. Something I learnt was how to measure without a ruler.
