Listen and follow along carefully to the mathematical story by April Pulley Sayre and Jeff Sayre
Notice how the author used the number of feet to add numbers together based on the animals (yes, people are classed as animals) for example two snails and one person equal 4 feet in total and 4 snails, would also equal 4 feet. Can you use the animals from the story to write another way of representing 4 feet?
Let’s begin the game...
Your objective is to use the animals in the story to represent a random number between 10-100
For the random number you can either get a family member to give you one or you can use the number generator to give it to you
The numbers need to be between 10-100
You then need to follow the table below on how to write your number down
My random number on the number generator was 63. See the picture below. This is how you need to set out your work to represent your random number
I have supplied a link for the pictures if you have a printer, so you don’t have to draw the animals. Otherwise you can draw your own pictures onto your paper
The level of difficulty can be suited to your preference by opting for higher or lower numbers for example you may choose to use numbers under 20 or you could choose to use numbers up to 1000 to make the game more challenging
Complete at least 3 random generated numbers
Complete the survey

Shadow Art
What am I learning?
*To create art out of shadows
How can I make sure I am successful?
*Experiment with light to see what different kinds of shadows you can make
*Create a shadow big enough to make a face on
Activity description/steps:
Go for a walk outside with your whānau to collect pebbles, small rocks, sticks, anything you’d like to add to your shadow.
If you have the resources at home to paint your rocks, you’ll need to wash them first.
Now paint! Create eyes, mouths, ears, horns, whatever facial feature you want. You can also use Sharpie to add detail.
Go outside and give it a try! You can always try at different times of the day and see what time you can make the biggest shadows.
You’ll need someone to cast the shadow and one person to create the art. You can use grass for hair, or berries for eyes. Get creative! (Ms. Shannon doesn’t have paint at home so she used berries to create a smile, rocks for her eyes, grass for her hair, and sticks for a nose!)
Take a photo of your creation and share with your teacher! I’m sure this’ll put a smile on their face :)
