Happy Holidays

Everyone must be so happy that the school holidays have finally arrived. What an exciting first term we have had Room 16. You have learnt so much and achieved a great deal of which you all should be very proud. I hope that you have a fantastic term break but don't forget to check into Mathletics and Reading Eggs when you get a chance.

Let us know what you're getting up to over the holidays. If you leave a message here please don't share specific locations or other personal information. 

Be safe and enjoy the break. See you at the start of Term 2. 

Mr Janse

Problem Solving

This Term we have learnt lots about solving prolems in Maths.

See if you can solve this problem. Remember it is not only about finding the answer but about how you got to the answer. Show how you worked it out.


Pizza and things!

Our local pizza place has only 2 tables but they are quite big. If each table can hold 7 people, how many people can be seated altogether?

The chicken n chips shop has 2 identical tables. The chicken n chips can seat 16 people. How many people can sit around each table?
