Just found this in my 'drafts' - oopsi!
But liked it so much decided I would post it late anyway!

One 'saying' in Room 3 is...
'How will/can you extend yourself?'
On Tuesday during Maths I saw the first evidence of 2 girls doing just that... extending themselves!
Their group was learning about decomposing numbers, and we were using fly flips to do so,
As in the example above, all the fly flips have 5 flies on the front, and another number between 5 and 10. On the back is how many more flies you would need to make this number.
So as in above, the question would be 5+?=7, and you can see on the reverse side that the answer is 2.
As a group we were playing a game with the fly flips, and two of the students were always winning, so I sent them away with some fly flips and said 'extend yourself'... I turned around a bit later to see what they were doing and I couldn't believe my ears when I heard them answering in Te Reo and Samoan!
Awesome Work Girls!
They did it again at morning tea with a student filming so we have a record of their choice in extending them self.
Have a watch of Una and Ester answering the fly flips in Te Reo and Samoan.
