Mixed - Ability Maths

Kia ora,

This term we have been doing mixed - ability maths groups. The purpose was to help other kids learn different strategies for maths. We had to use different strategies to work out different problems.
How I feel about? I don't mind working in a group because I get to learn about how different people solve maths problems.
What I have enjoyed? I have enjoyed working with my group because they are always happy and I help them learn new strategies for maths. I also like it because they teach me their ways they use to solve problems like times tables and skip counting.
What I have found difficult? I found it tricky to work with my group because they sometimes are unfocused and are chatting to their friends. I also find it hard to work with my group because they ignore me or start singing and stop listening to my working out.
What can I do to change my negative thinking?
Give the pencil more often to my group member's and try to ask them more questions to get them to listen.

Maths Understanding

Kia ora,

For the last three days, we have been solving maths problems. We have to work them out by using two strategies. One is equal adjustments and the other one is place value partitioning. We had to make a google draw to show how we worked the problems out. I enjoyed figuring out the problems because I liked using equal adjustments. I found it tricky to work out one of the problems because the number went over the tens. The learning behind this task to know how to use equal adjustments and place value partitioning.
