MEGA MATHS MONTH UPDATE

Great news! Our class average has improved after week one of our school-wide focus on times tables!

Room 10's average has jumped from 53% to 60% so I am very proud. Thank you to the parents who have been helping their children with their tables; you would have seen on the notice that came home last Monday how important parental support is.

Keep up the great work!

Here are some ideas from students in room 10 to help you learn your tables, depending on your learning style:
MUSIC - turn the tough ones into a rap or chant, use them to change the lyrics of your favourite song, listen to music while learning your tough ones
NATURE - go for a walk and times together the numbers on the letterboxes you pass, times the number of clouds by the number of trees you see, chant your tough ones while walking
PICTURE - card games, flash cards, maps, celebrity 'buzz', make a board game, make a colour by numbers picture - find times tables that have answers that match the numbers
PEOPLE - make a hopscotch game to play with others, make up boardgames to play together
BODY - quick fire test eachother, role play, use finger patterns eg 9x table
