Triangle group- Maths session

Today in maths we were learning to count on from the biggest number. We have gotten really good at saying the number that comes after,  so today we practised counting on from the biggest number. This pictures shows that we know which number is the biggest. 

Today we even added two numbers together by counting on from the biggest

 number. Miss Nua thinks we are pretty clever!

On Wednesday room 2 went to MOTAT. We got to look at some really awesome things. We learnt a lot about how life was in the past. This helped us to see how technology has changed overtime.
