Welcome to Room 16 Years 2 and 3
Multiplication in Year 2 and 3
In Term 2, the Year 2's and 3's have been working on multiplication.
The Year 2 students use multiplication strategies such as equal groups, repeated addition and arrays.
The Year 3 students consolidate the strategies learnt in previous years to become fluent in multiplication facts (times tables) for 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x.
Term 3
In Term 3, Room 16 is working on writing non-fiction texts. The students are creating Information Reports on mini beasts. In Maths, the students are working with Rooms 15 and 17 and are participating in maths groups on Wednesday, to help target specific learning goals. H.A.S.S. sees the students move on from History to Geography, where the Year 2's learn about places and spaces where they live, and the Year 3's learn about the continents and oceans of the world, as well as the states and territories, and capital cities of Australia. In Music, we are learning all about simple musical notes and how to play a short song on the glockenspiel.

Wednesday Maths Groups
In Room 16 with Mrs Kelly, the students are working on 2-digit numbers and identifying how the numbers are represented using place value.
The students have learnt that 0 is a place holder for numbers. For example: in the number 40, the 0 has no numerical value, but it does hold the place of the ones.
