EXPLORING WEIGHT


Today the Blue and Purple Maths groups EXPLORED Weight.

The teachers were impressed with our use of mathematical language.  We were using words like heavier, lighter and balance.  We spent time exploring the different stations and then we were able to share back to the class what we had discovered.

The kids explored how to get the
stretchy weighing machine to work

Miharo put together some scales and figured out how they worked

Ethan was able to tell his friends how he got his weighing machine to work

Jamie realised that when he added
more teddies into the bucket the needle
moved around and pointed to bigger
numbers

Holly and Brooke were able to work out which cup held the most by
filling the cups and counting how many blocks each could hold.
They discovered that the one that has the most blocks in it, has the greater
capacity.


Mika was able to make a weighing machine too!
Taha was pleased with how his weighing
machine turned out

Ethan did a great job explaining to
the group how his weighing machine
worked
