Partitioning with Sam and Ciaran 01/27/2012
The first thing you do is write the sum down in our work books. When the sum is writen in the books we break down the sum into single easy numbers such as 100's, 10's and units. This is an example sum 241 + 669 800 + 41 + 69 As you can see from this example you add the biggest number which in this case was 200 + 600. We then extend the sum to make it easier to work out 800 + 40 + 60 + 10. From this we worked out the sum is 910 using partitioning. 
This is us writing the answers down in our books.
We are using counting squares to help us add up the sum

We made the best of this 'Indian Summer' and took a walk up to the Cwm Clydach Reserve. We saw many examples of different types of seeds. Click here to find out more about seed dispersal.              Our Fruit Seed Investigation 09/23/2011
 I wrote down where the seeds grow in different fruits. I had a strawberry, a tomato, a cucumber and grapes.  I looked at a cucumber to see where the seeds are in it. I drew a diagram to show where they are.  We drew different fruits and labelled them showing the parts of the fruit, like the skin, the seeds and the rest of the inside. We are holding a tomato, a banana and a blueberry.  I am holding a banana, I was finding out if it was a fruit or vegetable by seeing if it had seeds.  I found the seed in the blackberry, it was in the globules. I tasted them.  I am thinking hard about whether a tomato is a fruit or vegetable. Now I know it is a fruit because it has seeds.  We are checking to see if a cucumber has seeds. It does, so a cucumber is a fruit! We investigated seeds in different fruits to find out where their seeds are. We learnt that some fruits have seeds on the inside and some on the outside, and their seeds come in many different shapes and sizes. First Post! 09/19/2011
