K-1 maths

'Will our paper planes fly better with added mass?' was our investigation question in Math last week. With great perseverance we folded our own planes and tested their flight. Using chalk we marked the distance our planes flew. Finally we added a paper clip and then tested how this affected our planes.
Who sank the boat? After reading the story we created our own boats from foil and investigated how many teddies it took to sink our boats. Year 1 also used scales to create a balance by making playdough balls with equivalent mass.
