    • We are EXPLORING place value so that we can conceptualise number in a meaningful way
    • We are EXPLORING the difference between digits and numbers so that we classify them
    • We are EXPLORING numbers and operations so that we can recognise the practical application of number and number sense


    Kia Ora and Good Morning...

    Welcome to MHJC – Coast Whanau.

    I am Mr Choong, your Maths teacher and we are going to learn and do all the fun stuff in Mathematics.

    Remember:  Success = daily practice in maths. 

    Daily means 20-30 mins every day! That's it!  Maths Buddy is an online maths program to help you. If you can do Maths Buddy every day for 20 mins or more,  it's done.  Maths Buddy is great because you will have a video to demonstrate how  the maths is done for each problem. So, you have a teacher to help you at any time.  Remember I see you only twice a week, but maths must be done every day. That's why Maths Buddy is so important.

    You can use your MHOL login name and password to log in to Maths Buddy

    We will be learning about numbers and operations this term. Our Whanau context for this term is Our Place & Celebrations. We will learn how to link and apply what we learn this term to our context.

    We are going to start this week by revising our number operation skills and memorising the 1-12 times table. We will draw the times table grid in our books and fill it.

    After you fill the grid you may need to practice number operations using the following link:
