Today was the last day of term, but at ALiM we still had maths fun! We learned new strategies of figuring things out! We learnt strategies such as trebling and thirding, place value, tidy numbers and repeated addition. Those are just a FEW of the many strategies we learned today. WE WON THE SUMDOG COMPETITION!  Congratulations Amy on coming third!Here are some awesome photos of us we took today :)

Quick images.  You get 4 seconds to look at an image and then say how many dots.  You need to be multiplicative to answer quickly!

How many dots?
