Holiday Home Learning

With one day of term 2 left each child went home with a home learning pack today.

In it was a reading log, some creative blogging prompts, and some mathematics strategies and practice activities. 

With two weeks of no school it's time to keep cozy, and take ownership of your own learning.  

If you want help with your maths here's a few videos that will teach you some smart strategies! Share them with whānau and see if they can do the problems too!

Happy home learning Glenbrae tamariki. Ka mau te wehi. 

Solve fraction problems using repeated addition.

Solve division problems by using your times tables.

Subtraction strategies

This strategy helps us to subtract numbers by making the number we are taking away into a tidy number. Then we also need to change the other number the same way... watch this great video to see what to do. Once you are finished try the problem below. 

There are 54 apples in the fruit box. 

We eat 27 at morning tea.
