Here is the link that we have used in class to know about Newton’s life and his work as a scientist. Can you remember what his other interests were?

This week we have learned how to add with unifix cubes. We did a lot of practice in our classroom but the best part was when we got to become the teachers of our own classmates. We think we did a good job in modelling our first math lesson of the year!!!! 🙂

We are learning to add with unifix cubes and in this way we are understanding better the nature of numbers, how they break down to create new numbers and their position on the units, tens or hundreds columns. This is some of our classroom practice.

This was our unit of inquiry session today, where we wondered about the forces ‘pull’ and ‘push’. We saw the real life application of these two forces on balls and cars. We inquired into what happens when the objects under force collide.
