Kakariki: Division Destroyers

Kikorangi - Blue

We are learning about writing our own problems about our world.

We wrote problems about LOL dolls, as this interested a lot of our group.

Caprice's question she made up:

" If there are 7 layers in each LOL doll how many layers for 5 LOL dolls?

So it is 5 groups of 7 which is 35.

or we can say

7 groups of 5 which is 35


Today we noticed that it is easier to count in 5s so we can reverse our problem and still get the same answer.

Can you see the Patterns??

Maths is full of patterns, its our job to find them and use them to help us work out tricky problems.

3 + 7 = 10
30 + 70 = 100
300 + 700 = 1 000
3,000 + 7, 000 = 10, 000

What do you notice?? Can you continue the pattern? Please comment below.

Estimating the distance of our Giant Walk:

Today our school is walking to the local playground.  We are estimating how to measure the distance. 



We learnt that 1000 of these rulers touching each other will make 1 kilometre. 

Our estimates are: 
106 m to 2 km - who will be closest??
