Numeracy in Room 5.
During Numeracy time we work in different Numeracy groups. We have five different groups. They are Prisms, Pyramids, Cones, Spheres and Cylinders. Mrs Saric works with each group twice a week to teach the different strategies and knowledge.

We have been learning the following strategies: Prisms - WALT solve subtraction problems by going back through tens. Pyramids - WALT solve addition and subtraction problems by working from doubles. Cones - WALT solve addition problems by counting on. Spheres - WALT solve addition problems by imaging. Cylinders - WALT solve addition problems by imaging.

Prisms - WALT solve addition problems by forming hundreds from tens and forming tens from ones. Pyramids - WALT solve addition problems by looking for compatible numbers. Cones - WALT solve subtraction problems by counting back. Spheres - WALT solve subtraction problems by imaging. Cylinders - WALT solve addition problems by imaging.

Prisms - WALT solve subtraction problems by using place value whilst "parking" ones, tens and hundreds. Pyramids - WALT solve multiplication problems by using repeated addition. Cones - WALT solve addition and subtraction problems by using place value. Spheres - WALT solve addition and subtraction problems with decade numbers by counting tens in our heads. Cylinders - WALT solve subtraction problems by imaging.

Prisms - WALT solve subtraction problems using standard place value partitioning. Pyramids - WALT solve five times tables by doubling and halving. Cones - WALT solve multiplication problems using skip counting in twos, fives and tens. Spheres - WALT find by practical means halves and quarters of shapes and objects.

Now we are learning these strategies:

Prisms - WALT solve addition problems by compensating with tidy numbers. Pyramids - WALT solve addition and subtraction problems by combining and separating tens and ones. Cones - WALT solve division problems by equal sharing in ones, twos and fives. Spheres - WALT find halves and quarters of sets of objects to 20 by equal sharing of objects. Cylinders - WALT solve addition and subtraction problmes with decade numbers by counting tens in our heads.

WALT = We Are Learning To ...

I have developed some strategy booklets which show parents how we learn the different strategies in the Numeracy Project. It is important that we teach the strategies the same way using the same language.

Below are some links to games which will help you to learn and consolidate the strategies and knowledge.
