Today I taught Room 12 how to use a new mathematics app on the iPads. This app requires them to think outside the square. In the middle of the screen is a maths problem and it needs to be solved by finding the answer within the coloured circles. However, the answer is never in the coloured circle...instead they need to hold down two or more circles to get the answer.
Confused?
Example: 3 + 4 = ?
The coloured circles have the numbers 5, 10, 1 and 2 on them. So the children need to figure out how to make the number 7 out of 5, 10, 1 and 2. Can you figure it out?

One of Room 12's writing groups have been writing poems about colour this week. These poems will be ready for publishing on Thursday. After writing today this group used Pic Collage to create a background for their published poem. These are our newest writers in Room 12 and you'll be amazed at their colour poems - I'm so proud of them!
