Unit of InquiryWelcome to our class blog! This week we "tuned in" to our first Unit of Inquiry: Who We Are, and around the central idea "relationships are complex and require nurturing in order to prosper". For the next six weeks, we will be exploring the three lines of inquiry: different types of relationships; strategies for building and maintaining relationships; and characteristics of effective teamwork. To help us to think about our understanding of the central idea, we engaged in various types of cooperative games. We gathered together with 2.2 as a grade level to think about effective teamwork and the "ingredients for strong friendships" to make "friendship soup". MathsIn maths we began our inquiry around the strand "Number Sense" and the central idea "whole numbers have patterns and relationships that can be observed and described." We began the week by focusing on our problem solving skills and counting large numbers of objects we use in the class. We discovered that using "friendly numbers" such as groups of 5, 10, 50, and 100 made it easy for us to count, as well as organising our items into rows and columns. We will continue our exploration with Number Sense through place value and strategies for adding and subtracting.
