NZ Curriculum Achievement Objectives

Order numbers from smallest to biggest 
Place Value of numbers up to 67
Identify and write numbers

Learning Observed:

Our hapu group have been learning a game called "Rocket". Learners have to draw seven squares vertically with a triangle at the top. The bottom square has 10 and in the triangle is 67. After rolling two die, learners had to choose a number from the dice that was rolled to write into each square. For example, if a 2 and 5 was rolled then learners had to decide whether to use 25 or 52 and place it strategically in their rocket. They have to ensure that the numbers they write in are in order from the smallest number 10 to the biggest number 67. The first group that filled all their squares in correctly calls out "Blast Off!" 

Key Competencies/ Vision Principles:

Jessica has showed curiosity about which numbers to write in the squares and worked collaboratively with a buddy to make decisions. She demonstrates capability to make decisions and write numbers.

Next Learning Steps:

Keep learning place value to 100
Keep practicing this game independently
