The BIGGEST Cake in the World!

Cordayne has been reading the book, The Biggest Cake in the World. He can retell the story and put the story pictures and text in sequence. 

On Friday he made the biggest cake in Room 12! He chose Belle and Lucas to help him make it with our Teacher Aide, Victoria. He shared it with all the class. It was delicious!

How many rows of chocolate are hidden?

The picture showed two rows of chocolate with 4 squares in each row. There were 40 squares in total. The problem was to solve how many rows were hidden still.

We learned about area and had to use our basic facts knowledge to solve the problem.

Measuring accurately to make 1 metre lengths if string

In Maths we were given a piece of brown twine. Mrs  Field asked us to use our 30cm rulers to measure and cut the twine into 1 metre and a bit left over. We had to work it out by ourselves and show how we added the measurements together. We all had a chance to check how close we were to a metre and Hunter was the closest with 1.02m. It was interesting to see all the different ways of getting to 1metre. 30+30+30+10 =100 was a common way to solve it. We also had 30+ 20 = 50 then fold it in half and double it.
