Week 7 Marvelous Maths in Rm 5

Kia ora koutou
This week we have been very busy on our addition and subtraction strategies. We are set problems to solve and then we go away to solve them and have to be prepared when we come back to the class to show how our maths works with materials. We have been doing problems that include two digit numbers and have had some amazing strategies shared with the group. Also we tested our basic facts at speed and nearly everyone in the room has improved from last week. Ka pai everyone.
Here is how Sophie solved one of her maths problems this week and how she showed the class what she was thinking with materials.
Sophie's problem involved 54+45 = and you can see below how she started and made her 2 numbers. After this picture she joined all the tens together and then the ones and got 99!
