Bubble Fun
WALT / Practising to Count On and Count Back
Today we had a visit from the Science in a Van Roadshow.
We learnt about mixtures, separation and reactions. We also had some bubble fun.
We decided to see how many bubbles we could blow in ONE breath and then add them together and take them away - this way we could practise our addition and subtraction and basic facts.
Some of us had to blow a few times to make sure we got enough bubbles to count!
"Phontayne and Levi worked out the addition problem. 8 + 4 =12, 12 +10 = 22. Phontayne also worked it out like this "10 + 4 = 14 and then I counted on in 2s until I got to 22. We worked out 13-13 = 0 and then there is 5 left over. The addition was easy and the takeaway was a little harder. Next time we would use the number line or the wooden hundreds board or the calculators to check our answers."
