Our Math Block Today

**Here is another blog post written by our wonderful students! Here is a Retell of our Math block today. Enjoy! :)


Dear Parents,

      We did some math today and we used graphs and tally marks. First we chose a partner and we did our first assignment using a spinner. The spinner had two colours and when we spun the paperclip we made a tally mark for what colour it landed on. Then we made a graph of our results. We learned that on the spinner even though there was a small amount of blue it could still win but all of our green colour won. Green won because it had the most amount of space on the spinner.

  After the spinner activity we talked about likely and unlikely events and drew different spinners to show likely, unlikely, certain, and impossible events.

  Last we did some more math and what we did was we picked coloured tiles out of paper bags. Whenever we picked a colour out of the bag we put the colour on the graph and we stopped when one colour went to 10 and it was called "Race to 10." We learned that even though red had 10 and blue had 5 that blue could still win.
