This term we looked further into temperature and attempted to run our own weather show with a producer, cameramen and presenter.

At the beginning of Term 3 we have been learning about weight, and measuring different objects in grams.

Year 4 have been learning how to measure lighter objects by Weighing a number of objects and working out the grams and then dividing the weight by teh number of objects weighed.

These are some of our findings for finding the weight of one small object:









Large Marbles - 675g divided by 38 = 17.7g each - Thomas Crowe

Bottle tops - 10g divided by 7 = 1.4g each - Ella Crowe

Buttons - 200g divided by 247 = 0.8g each - Thomas Henderson

Dominoes - 150g divided by 30 = 5g each - Bella Dykes

Beads - 70g divided by 54 = 0.3 g each - Alex Keen

Multilink cubes - 105g divided by 10 = 10.5g each - Joana Era

Little marbles - 70g divided by 13 = 5.3g each - Mckenzee

Beans - 105g divided by 100 = 1.0g each - Georgie Riordan

Big Marbles - 255g divided by 12 = 21.2g each - Chloe Light

Dominoes - 90g divided by 20 = 0.2g each - Bryce Dykes

To see the New Zealand Curriculum Numeracy stages expectations, please open the PDF below. It shows the expected stage of Maths at each year level. To gain a deeper understanding please have a look on the **nzmaths website**. HSPNHandbook_b.pdf Games and Activities that reinforce and consolidate numeracy learning

The Strategy Section
The Strategy section of the Number Framework describes a series of stages that children progress through as they develop their understanding of a range of strategies for solving number problems. There are eight stages altogether, with the first three often grouped together: There are three areas, or 'domains' within the Strategy section, which describe a child's ability to solve different types of problems (additive, multiplicative and proportional). Your child is likely to be learning a broad range of strategies in their classroom mathematics programme. One of the ways that you can most easily support them is to help them develop the knowledge that they will need to be able to use these strategies.
 * **Stage 0-3: Counting from One** - children can solve problems by counting from one, either using materials or in their head.
 * **Stage 4: Advanced Counting** - children can solve problems by counting in ones, or by skip counting, starting from numbers other than one.
 * **Stage 5: Early Additive** - children can solve simple problems by splitting up and adding together the numbers in their head.
 * **Stage 6: Advanced Additive** - children use a range of different methods to solve more challenging problems in their head.
 * **Stage 7: Advanced Multiplicative** - children use a range of different methods to solve multiplication and division problems in their head.
 * **Stage 8: Advanced Proportional** - children can solve complicated problems involving fractions, decimals and percentages using a combination of methods.

The Knowledge Section
The Knowledge section is usually broken down into five areas, referred to as 'domains': Numeral Identification, Number Sequence and Order, Grouping/Place Value, Basic Facts, and Written Recording. We have provided a collection of suggested activities that parents and families can use, grouped under three domains: The activities in each domain are grouped by the stage of development they are most suitable for. To choose the appropriate stage, either use the brief descriptions under the Strategy Section above, ask your child's teacher, or choose a range of activities to see which are suitable. Click to select [| activities by stage and domain].
 * **Number Identification and Order** - activities to help children learn to read numbers and know the order of numbers.
 * **Place Value** - activities to help children learn how 10s, 100s, 1000s, tenths, hundredths, thousandths etc are used.
 * **Number Facts** - activities that will help children learn their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.

Without the ‘knowledge,’ that is knowing the basic numeracy facts, it is difficult for a student to progress through the strategy stages being taught in the classroom. Students move through the strategy stages at different rates and may be working on different stages given a certain problem. This is often a result of gaps in key knowledge; hence it CANNOT be stressed enough the importance of learning the basic facts. How your child learns their basic facts is not as important as knowing them.
