Maths Work

We have been busy using money to help us with our place value.  They have been working really hard on it.  A couple really wanted to take the hundred dollar notes home!  I said they wouldn't be able to buy anything with it.

It's Official!

After 3 days we have finally had notice that we are the official winners of the Matific Competition.  I know that the whole school worked had to achieve the outcome and we couldn't have done it without every student doing their bit.  During the competition I saw determination, resilience, encouragement and more skills that we want our students to achieve and on top of that they also did some really great maths work. 
Great work Tui, I am super proud of all that you achieved!
