Welcome to the home of class six 2021 lockdown adventures

Monday morning week two addition

I have heard from several of you, I've seen photos of your work, photos of you outside enjoying the fresh air, riding your bike, walking on our Port hills. I hope you are making the most of this lockdown, reading, being with your family, getting outside, trying something new. Soon we will be back in the classroom together, chatting and learning- so enjoy this quiet time, this time to work on your personal interests. Take care, keep emailing me

where I'm going I do not know,

I need to itch

I've got the stitch

how long should I sleep tonight?

I've got places to go.

This might not have been what we expected but we can have fun with our circumstances and make the most of what it offers. Certainly, I can't have Finn at school, but he can be with me online.

The tasks and activities I post here, are for you to explore, some of you will be doing this on your own, some will have your whanau with you, or feeding you the tasks offline. Just adapt to fit your circumstances, the time, and the materials you have available. 

You should look at the list on the side of this main page, 

and click on anything listed there- it opens up a new page for you to explore.

Look how clever Blaze was with his gold rush task,

I always enjoy hearing how you get on, so feel free to email me at lesleym@ch.steiner.school.nz 

I've already heard from Sian, Jordi and Sujan via email. Great work guys!

I don't know how long this will continue, but I will keep posting until we go back to school in person. Make sure you get some exercise and fresh air every day, sleep well, eat well, help out those around you, and keep in touch with each other.

  Marvelous, amazing awesome mathematics for everyone in class six:

Your parents have a copy of this multiplication table in their emails- here it is again. If you cant recall these quickly, then being at home is a great time to learn them.

For those of you who have these facts already tucked away, can you try these?

          x 6       x 4        x 3        x 25           x    3

After the basic fact work, how about this question?

      Here is a four by four dotty grid:

I have joined three dots on the grid to make a triangle that has one dot inside it:

How many different triangles with one dot in the middle can you draw?

How do you know have found them all?
