Mathematics
Welcome to Mrs Johnson's Mathematics page.
Students have been using Mathletics program during class learning at school, they have their passwords in their reading diary and can log in and practise a variety of different mathematical skills and topics. The link to this can be found on the home page or by going to www.mathletics.com/au
Beaufort Primary School has purchased a new computer program called Mathseeds. The program in operated by the ABC Reading Eggs Company found on this link mathseeds.com.au/
Mathseeds teaches young students about number and early mathematical concepts. The program commences with the numbers from 0 to 10. It is very appealing and has lots of fun activities to complete. The students must complete all activities before they move onto the next learning map.(Same as Reading Eggs maps). Please use the same login in as Reading Eggs. The user name and passwords provided for home use are the same. They can be used for both Reading Eggs and Mathseeds.

What else can students do?
1) Please use the Mathletics booklet that was sent home or that was collected. Whilst students are learning on the above electronic platforms, it is important that they continue to use good old fashioned pencil and paper.
Check that your child is writing their numbers around the correct way, number 5 often posses a challenge.
2) We have been learning about place value, what it means and why it is important. If you ask your child "What is place value?" the answer we are looking for is "The location of the number gives us its value!" We have been breaking down the value of a three, four, or five digit numbers.
For example: the number 3826 has three thousands, eight hundreds, two tens and six ones. Students can create random numbers and Hulk Smash them into their respective parts.
3) Students have been learning about measuring, specifically length and perimeter using formal (ruler or tape measure) and informal (string or their hand) Students can go on a scavenger hunt to measure different things around the home. Record the item and how long/tall/wide it is.
4) Play board games that use numbers such as Uno or Solitaire, or even Monopoly if you’re feeling brave.
5) Do something together that uses real world Maths, like baking or cooking.
6) Students have also been learning about 2D and 3D shapes.
Create a list of all the different shapes around the house (inside and outside) choose some to draw and label.
7) Draw a floor plan of the house, including as much detail as possible
