Thursday (last day of the month Pirate challenge).... Do it if you dare

Hi Everyone,

I asked my pirate friend to share the next challenge.  Listen carefully and let me know what pattern you can create.


This blog started on the first day of Lock Down: Can we reach 1000 visits?

Check what number you are and how many more vists we need to make 1000.  Add your answer in the comment section below.  How will you record this in a Maths way?

Friday 1 May Challenge: Ordering Boxes



Hi All,

Today's challenge is ordering.  I have suggested boxes (we have so many from ordering online our food and other essential items, do you?) but what other things can you order and how Koru /Kowhai syndicate? 

Give it a go and please send a picture to my email:  kimm@sunnyhills.school.nz

Kowhai/Kauri Extension:
Can you find the surface area of one side of the box?  Remember to see which side is the length and the height.

Extra Extension:
Can you find the surface area for the entire box?
You might like to check out this video from Khan Academy to support you.
