Maths Day

Today for maths we did lots of activities comparing volume and mass.

My favourite activity was the tinfoil boats.  We had to make a boat out of one sheet of tin foil. I had a turn and then I helped Riley. His boat could hold up to 650g!

Blake's boat could hold 950g! The boats with a large flat surface could hold more than boats with a smaller surface area.

Maths - Volume

We have been learning to compare volumes of containers. We can do this by pouring rice from one container to the next. If rice is left over then we know that container is bigger than the one we are pouring into.
