Organising the room - mathematics is all around us!

The students had to put the backing paper on the display boards. First they had to decide what was a good measurement tool to use to measure the boards. They ended up using the metre sticks and also string. They discussed colours and agreed upon what would be best, collaborating with the other groups in order to create a colourful classroom. They had to work together to measure and cut the correct amount of backing paper. Finally they used lots of teamwork to get the sheets of paper up on the boards. It looks great!

Mrs. Hughes came to the class to observe different signs of good team work. She saw many examples of students working effectively in a team. The two things that she really noticed were 'communication' and 'patience'!
