Cuisenaire Rods
Today we explored the cuisenaire rods in a variety of ways. We used them to show equivalence. One colour block is the same as (equivalent) to other blocks.
Can you work out what number we were making and how we did it?
Go to the distant Learning Slides to see other ways we used the rods today.
This video clip is very popular, the students have asked for it to be added to our site so they can watch it at home.
This helps us make equal rows and shows us what our times tables looks like. The rectangle shapes are called arrays! Can you draw the arrays in the story?

Picasso and Maths
Pablo Picasso was a very famous artist. He was a painter, a sculptor and a printmaker.
He was from Spain.
By the time he was about seven years old he was already a clever artist.
As he grew up he made many different kinds of artworks and invented different forms of art for which he became very famous.
One of these was collage and another was cubism.
In his life he is thought to have made around 50,000 artworks, some of which have become so famous that people pay a lot of money for them. One artwork sold for US$104 million and more of Picasso’s paintings have been stolen, (because they are worth so much) than anyone else’s paintings.
Art was a ‘way of life’ for Pablo Picasso.
Examples of Cubisim
Half realistic and half abstract.
What facts can you match to this array?
Have you included addition, multiplication and division?

Whero's discoveries on Monday 21 March 2022
Hazel is making 10 using a variety of ways
10
7 + 2+ 1 = 10
5+ 3 + 1 + 1 = 10
3 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 10
Hazel putting all the 10s together to make 40
4 groups of 10 = 40
Ruby is showing what one more looks like with the blocks.
Adding one more with the orange tile.
Matching the number stories to the pattern.
Look how the pattern grows to make the next number.
Mia is using the equipment to make addition and subtraction problems
Can you work out the numbers she is making?
Mia wrote the number stories
Mia was using her teen numbers in the problems. She was creative in how she was making the problems with the equipment.
Caleb created a 3 digit number
Can you see he made 111 or one hundred and eleven
Evie created a number story
2 + 1 = 3
Harper created a number story
4 turtles and 1 castle = 5

Whero's Learnings from their work today (22/3/22)
"I learnt I can makes Maths with connect sand. I made a number story with tally marks "
Mia
"I learnt we can make halves with connect sand. It was hard to do and was squishy."
Ruby
"I learnt that you can connect numbers to make bigger numbers" Evie
"I learnt how to make different numbers to 16"
Caleb
"I learnt different ways to make the numbers 10 and 8"
Harper
"I learnt we can make Maths with connect sand, I am going to do this at home. I made
4 = 2+2"

Making the largest 4 digit number - part 2: Mar 16, 2022 11:43 AM.webmFinding the value of our numbers
Do you agree or disagree?
NZ data:
We can see that over half (63%) of the Year 3 and 4 students could say the largest number.
Only a few people (3%) could say the third largest number.
Here are 4 more digits to try the same questions.
