Battleship Challenge!

Today we were a very small class due to lots of our learners heading off to the Weetbix Tryathlon.

Koka Terri and Koka Ngaire decided that for our Maths Strand workshop on Position, that we would have a game of battleships!

They made up 2 grids in each classroom space of 8x8 squares.  We then drew another grid on the whiteboard so that we could track our successful hits.

We learned that the x axis goes across the bottom ('walking along the hall') before going up the y axis ('walking up the stairs').
Moana 3 thought that they were going to lose because Moana 2 had scored lots of hits... but then it was down to the wire.  Hazel made the correct tie breaker call.  Moana 3 won!
