How do we learn Maths in Room 3?

We do lots of hands-on activities in Room 3 learning maths in all different ways.  Here are some examples from the past couple of weeks.
This is Ashen and Will - looking at The Warehouse online and rounding up lego to the closest ten.  

Next we have to find 3 items - round them up to the nearest dollar and add them by imaging.  Can you work out $150.00+$29.99+$59.00 by imaging?  These boys can and they are only Year 2's!!

Joshua and Liam are working out patterns to numbers.  They have to work out the mystery dot, then number before, after, 10 before, 10 after.

James was using dominoes to add on from the highest number and match them to cards.  A fun way to learn to add on.
Chase has made a 'tens' man - he has 2 beads on one leg and 8 on the other.

  1. Hi Room 3! What a great post providing insight into how you teach and learn maths. I like the way all your activities are so active and tactile! Why is rounding prices up to the nearest dollar useful?
    I like the idea of the 'tens' man. How many were made, and what do they add up to if you put them all in a row? Can't wait for your next post!
