GREATER THAN AND LESS THAN!

Today in Maths we learnt about greater than and less than.  We made a greedy crocodile mouth.  The mouth ALWAYS opens to the biggest number.  

Next we made two sets of different sizes.  We put the crocodile mouth facing the biggest set.  Then we read the mathematical sentence.

For example:  2 is less than 5 

5 is greater than 1

You could get us to practice this at home.

PATTERN AND ALGEBRA!

Over the next two weeks we will be learning about Pattern and Algebra.  We have started with Pattern. 

Today we played Musical Patterns.  We had to make a pattern and then when the music stopped, we moved to a friend's pattern and continued that pattern.

We have been talking about the rule for our patterns.  For example if the pattern was:  Red, blue, blue, red, blue, blue,  the rule would be ABB.

To help at home you could get us to make patterns with beads, coloured socks, forks and spoons, our toys, and get us to tell you the pattern's rule.
