In Room 5 we use patterns in maths. One group is learning the pattern of numbers 1 to 10 and that each number is consistent. A five will always be five objects.

Another group is looking at the pattern with a 5. What is 5 and 1, 5 and 2? We don't need to start counting at one because the pattern says we can just count on from a known number, in this case, it is number five.

In our inquiry topic, we looked at the pattern of day and night. We also focused on the pattern of seasons as the Earth goes around the Sun. We will investigate this pattern further next week.
The link below has a song about the Sun which we have been using in class. You might like to sing along and investigate other Youtube clips about the Sun with your child.

Lastly, these children worked co-operatively to make this amazing train track! What great mathematicians they are!
Room 5, you look like you are having such fun learning lots of new things. Your train track you built is awesome. from Marcus' mum
