Place value and saying numbers

Place value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.

The position of a digit determines its value. When we say numbers we group then within the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundred and nine ones.

 

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers properly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

The Highway Rat Visualisation

I visualisation about The Highway Rat.

A visualisation is a picture in your head that helps you draw.

Visualisation's are important because it helps you think and helps you draw. 

The story was about a highway rat was taking other animals food. Then a duck tricked the rat by trapping him in a cave. Then the duck got everyone's food back.

My drawings have my rat standing on four legs and Max's rat is standing on two legs. 

Visualisation is important because it helps you with what you should do.

The 3 Ps

We learnt about the 3 Ps in the treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning.

First Mr Ogilvie introduced the 3 Ps in the treaty of Waitangi. They are protection, partnership, and participation. 

Then in groups we wrote statements about the 3 Ps on LS1. LS1 figured out the 3 Ps are all  connected.

After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these 3 statements because they will help me be successful with my learning in LS1. I should be in participation because if I get a chance I should take it.
