The Inquiry Process...
Check out the hard working members of Rimu Rima. They've been spending time learning about how to inquire into something. We started small. Here's a picture of someone, Who Am I? The students follow a flow chart: What do we already know about this person, what do we want to know, how can we find this out, what did we find out and so on. The class had no clue, except for the picture. We did this with two other athletes as well as posed questions about the olympic values.

Fractions and sharing...
We've been spending a lot of time talking about how to share objects or numbers evenly by skip counting (instead of counting one by one).
Dividing lego lights by 5, sharing items into fifths. The children shared 20, 25 and 30 lego lights by skip counting in 2's or more.
Sharing in quarters.
Dividing an 8 part lego brick in 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8
Checking out how they look when they're put back together.
Which fractions are these three blocks showing? Scroll down to see the answer...
Answer: 1/3, 2/3, 1 whole.
