Pronumerals was the focus of maths today. We looked at some strange machines (drawn on the whiteboard) that changed the values of numbers. Each numeral that went into the machine was changed each time. We represented the numbers going into and out of the machine by pro-numerals, letters that stand in for the number.
We also began on our procedural writing today. The class developed some ingredients list for some interesting smoothies or milkshakes that they would like to make in class. From these ingredients we then came up with titles that would catch the reader's attention and inform them about what the recipe is creating. One group finished the work a little early and came up with a theme song for their milkshake idea.
The last section of the day was taken up with innovation. We looked at what innovation is and the class performed a small activity to show their innovation. They had to pass the ball between them in the quickest time. Some groups were innovative and modified their ideas as they were testing them.
