First Week Back & NEW Multiplication Games

I admit it... I really do... I've just LOVED my first week back at school! This is 1st week of our final 10 weeks of the school year and I love the fact that my year 8s are working on data & statistics and my year 9s are on probability.

I

've been able to have my year 8s writing Hypothesis about popular cars, collecting data from the staff car park, reflecting on their hypothesis and creating column graphs by hand and also in Microsoft Excel. It's been so wonderful to see students having fun and interest in what they learn! It brings a HUGE smile to my face each day. :)

I unfortunately had a QCS PD (a test all Yr 12 Queensland students have to sit) I had to attend on Thursday and missed all my classes, but I love the fact I get to mentor year 11 students this Term on short response questions for the QCS test!

I've also had some time (very little though) to complete my Multiplication Tri Ominos Game - 4 Math Centers throughout this week and upload them. I'm so excited to put these into my Math Centers as my Juniors need more practise with their multiplication tables and these allow us to check for higher level fluency/ understanding.

Max is here this weekend so we've spent Friday night at Club Night swimming where he's shaved around 2 seconds each off his 25m breaststroke and freestyle, squad and fun swimming (coin diving) this morning and gazebo decking alllllllllll day! We're very frequent Bunnings users! Photos tomorrow! :)



FREE Multiplication Game!

I know I'm procrastinating again, but I created a small freebie for everyone focusing on 5 times tables.

FREE 5 x Multiplication Tri Ominos has 27 multiplication questions and 18 answer tri ominos. Students need to solve two multiplication questions on one side of the tri omino and match it with the answer on another tri omino.

I have more multiplication tri ominos currently in draft form to be posted soon! Back to my planning I go!! :) I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday/ Sunday!

Gazebo & NEW Tri Ominos!



Gazebo with joists

I think, no I KNOW we're procrastinating! My husband and I BOTH being teachers means that this is officially our second last day of the holidays! NNNnnnnnOOOooOOoooooO! I can hear every Qld teacher saying this!
We decided today to put the joists across the bearers on the Gazebo we're building in our back yard. Amazingly I didn't think this would be tttooooo time consuming, but as always, I was wrong! (Excellent procrastination tool)... Although I HATE wasting time during the day when I can do planning at night! :)


I DID however get up somewhat early for a Saturday and begin my Rounding Decimals Tri Ominos #1 which I will continue to work on tonight and tomorrow!
I am going to add ONE or TWO more levels to it! It's only listed for $1.50 at the moment, but when I add more levels/ tri ominos for rounding to the nearest whole number and to two decimal places, I will up it to $2.50 or $3.00! Which means if you've already bought it, you'll get the updates at a bargain price. I was just too busy to finish all the levels this morning!

What type of tri ominos would you like to see designed!?

Now back to planning this up coming 10 week term!

Noooooo it's nearly over! :(

Sorry for the lack of posting (I've been reading blogs on my phone while tanning at the pool side), but my husband and I have been away at Royal Pines Resort at the Gold Coast celebrating our 1 year Wedding Anniversary. It's just amazing how time flies!!!!

Speaking about time flying, holidays are officially over in ONLY 2 days! :( How terribly sad...

I have to laugh when I look at the picture montage I created and all rooms had at least two double beds in every room! I suppose if there's more than 2 people they'd be used.

I've had a set of rounding tri-ominos drafted and ready here to make up ASAP but as we've only come back today, I may get started tomorrow on it (while planning my upcoming term).

Sorry if I haven't replied to your posts or emails yet, but I promise to get onto them in the morning :)

FREEBIE Fraction Tri Ominos

I admit it.... Even though I don't want to.... Fraction Tri Ominos was my husbands idea! This is what happens when we're both teachers and we discuss TpT!

I must say I really loved making them as a FREEBIE to you all the say thank you for your continual support and encouragement.

If they are popular and well liked, I will consider making more including Rounding Tri Ominos! How exciting and confusing to plan and make to begin with! A VERRRYYY large piece of paper was needed!

Back to bolting on the 4m bearers to the Gazebo! :) Will post a picture soon!
