In our Kiwi class we recognise that the operations of mathematics are tools we can use to help us solve contextual/real-life problems.
Addition has been our focus this week and the Kiwi class are learning to understand addition as combining two sets. This knowledge came in handy today when we had to figure out how many 'Smurfs' were on the bus. Students used various strategies to solve this tricky problem from counting all of the 'Smurfs', to bridging ten.
We are always learning that there are many different ways to solve the same problem!
