Strengthening connections to maths language

Today LS2 has been talking about Maths Vocabulary. We did this to help strengthen our connections to maths language. We first looked at the different ways to say 'hello' which someone who is new to English would find confusing. We did the same with the word 'plane'. Everyone thought about the air transport, but Mrs. Anderson was thinking about the flat surface in Maths. Whaea Donna shared this DLO with Mrs. Anderson after the visit from last week. Our task was to drag the maths words under the right label. To do this we needed to communicate with each other. If we got stuck with one of the maths words we were able to use the maths dictionary that was located on the LS2 Maths site. The interesting part about this task was learning about the new Maths Words.

Math Vocabulary (Time)

This week for Maths we had to do a Vocabulary list. We could write as many words as we like, I did three, I chose Meridian,Am and Pm. I did some research on what some of these words meant. If it wasn't for my researching skills I would have not found out this information. I put these sentences in my own words so that it isn't copied and pasted, plus I don't copy things. I chose Am and Pm because I have heard those words a lot. I haven't heard of Meridian before so I chose to do research on it.
