This term, the children in Room 10 have focused on the big ideas of Sorting, Patterns and Numbers. Exploring those big ideas through the use of manipulatives helped support the student’s retention of their learning and recall their previously established mathematical understanding.

The children have experimented with different ways to sort out the same objects and made patterns using objects as well as pictorial representations on their light table. They have also explored different ways to represent a number, make a number and describe numbers.
