This week we have been very busy here in 2nd class. We had dance with Lisa on Tuesday and had great fun. This week we also made paper aeroplanes as part of our science and tested them outside. We also had great fun doing maths with the ISAK9. We are really enjoying our time in 2nd class with Mrs. Parsons!
IZAK9 is a maths game that uses 27 different cubes and lots of different maths challenges. All the classes in our school will be using the cubes this year.
You divide into three groups; red, green and purple. You go to IZAK9’s website and listen to the challenges for your class. Some of them are simple and some you’ll need a pen and paper.
IZAK9 is maths but very fun and it encourages you to work together and discuss answers with your teammates. One of the first challenges we tried was called ABC123. We had to build a wall with numbers in alphabetical order and another one multiplication.
An interesting game was ‘Rebuild’. It’s a game where you have to rebuild the cube and the whole class works together to rebuild it in the correct way. You work together to rebuild the shapes on all the sides. You can go against other classes for example 3rd v.s 4th.Your team has to get all the answers correct before the other class. I give IZAK9 a 10/10 but what do you give it?
