Jocelyn is torturing me

Welcome to Term 3

Hayley


In room 1 we have a very skilled gymnast named Hayley Chapman. I've got a really cool shot of Hayley in the middle of a backward walkover. Hayley can almost do a flick-flack and she takes gym class in Blenhiem once a week. Hayley is a really good friend as well as a good gymnast I bet she will achieve stardom one day so keep going Hayley!

Thirding

Room's 1 maths group the Spheres is learning about doubling, halving and thirding.  First, we learnt about doubling and halving, like in a multiplication equation you would take the easiest number to halve and halve it, and take the easiest number to double and double it, in order to get the answer, for example...5 x 18 = 10 x 9 = 190 - see?
All I did was double the 5 and halve the 18 in order to get the answer. 
Thirding is just the same except you do it in threes. Like 24 x 3, I third the 24 and triple the 3 to get 24x3=8x9=72!    
This strategy is really cool and I'm sure it will help me heaps in bigger maths problems when I'm older!

Prism


On Tuesday I learnt that there is no such thing as prison in maths shapes, but there is such thing as Prison because its where naughty people go.
Now I know that in maths shapes it is not Prison it is Prism!
