Simon's maths

“Marvellous Maths” - Octagons
Term 2, Week 1


WALT: solve addition problems where one number is close to 10 and the answer is not more than 100.



Noah has 27 rugby cards and Bobby has 9. How many do they have altogether?
(Show your working out here - I want to see how you can use the strategy we have been learning as a group!) 27 + 9=36
+ 1 _9=10
-1_27=26
26 + 10 = 36
Nyree has saved $36 in pocket money. Teija has saved $12. How much money do they have between them?  $38+ $10=48
12-2 10                                                                                            38+ 40
(Show your working out here!)
Use Educreations on the iPad to share how you worked this question out. Post your movie on your blog.

$36+$12=
take away 2 from the 12 and add it on to the 36

38+10=
3+1=4
40
8+0=8
8
For the following questions, show your working out underneath. I have done the first one for you.

47 + 9 =
47-1 + 9+1 = 46 + 10 = 56.

44 + 8 =
44-2  +8  10    42+10=52

17 + 12 =
12-2  +17   19+10=29

37 + 9 =
37-1  9+    36+10=46

55 + 8 =
55+ 2  8+10   53+10=63

My Basic Facts - “Doubles”
Write down all the numbers that add together to make 10.
10+0=10
0+10=10
9+1=10
1+9=10
5+5=10
4+6=10
3+7=10
2+8=10


Greater than or less than:
Use these signs > (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal) to make the maths sentence true. I have done the first one for you.
7   >   4
12  >    8
57  <    58
19   <   29
13 >    3
27  =    27
17  >    12
31  =    31
2+3  =   4+1

Simon's holiday Recount

In the  holidays I went to rainbow end with my mum brother and my aunty and my cousin. When we were in the car we were counting all the cars. When we got there I saw the new ride it was BIG and it looked scary.


The first ride we went on was the pirate ship it goes up and  down it was giving me a feeling in my stomach. When we went on the Rollercoaster we went over lops and it was scary. I went on a ride called gold rush you have to go in a cart only 4 people can go in one cart it is amazing because you see zombies and ghost inside a cave then you go outside and you go up a ramp it is scary because it feels like your cart will stop and go back down and smash through the wall.

After we sat down and talked about what ride we should go on next.We said bump a cars I went with my aunty and we were trying to get my brother and my cousin I got both of them it was fun. After we went home it was amazing.
