Not Now, Room 12

We read 'Not Now, Bernard" by David McKee. This was a fun story. We came up with our own versions set at school. Here are a few of the stories:

Week 6: More, Same, Fewer

This week we were learning how to sort and compare things.

We were learning what more, less, same, fewer, most and least mean.

First we sorted our shapes:

First 'Etimoni and Rahil shared out the shapes.	Aribah and Saanvi sorted by shape.	Lyvia sorted by colour.
Jeff sorted by colour.	Garland sorted by colour.	Chervelle sorted by colour and shape.

Next we worked out which object we had more of:

There are more cars than boats.	There are more trucks that cars.	There are more yachts than cars.
There are more rabbits than cats.	There are more fish than ducks.	There are more yellow shapes than green shapes.

And we worked out what we had the same of:

There are the same number of orange and blue shapes.

Terri, Zaahira and Steven also worked out which objects they had less, fewer or not as many of:

There are not as many cheetahs as alligators.

There are not as many goats as sheep.

There are not as many cheetahs as zebras.
