\"\"<\/a>There has been some interesting \u2018I wonder\u2019 and \u2018I notice\u2019 moments experienced during last week\u2019s Numeracy lessons in Year 3. One of the tasks was to \u2018estimate\u2019 how many cubes or lollypop sticks were in a given pile. As the piles became bigger, we soon discovered how much easier it was to begin placing the objects into groups of either 2, 5 or 10, finally counting them using our times-tables knowledge \u2013 hurrah!\u00a0 Our counts became much quicker and far more accurate; we certainly got better and better at both estimating and counting!<\/p>\n

The class were also given the Cuisenaire Rods with some problem cards. The cards asked them to find out \u2018how many different ways\u2019 they could create the same length. They re-discovered that the numbers could be made using lots of different colour combinations \u2013 hence they could be made using different number<\/strong> combinations. After some discussion and sharing of findings, some of the children noticed that these patterns could also be related to the different ways of making even bigger numbers, especially when looking carefully at the value <\/strong>of each digit.<\/p>\n

By the end of the week, Year 3 had become \u2018estimation\u2019 and \u2019equivalent\u2019 experts! Good work, Year 3!<\/p>\n
