ANZAC Poppy Maths

When we made our poppy wreath for our ANZAC service we did some Maths counting and sorting with our poppies.

We all made a black and red poppy for the wreath. There were 16 children so we made 16 poppies.
We sorted our poppies into 2 groups so we could put some poppies on the front of our wreath and some on the back.
We made our 2 groups the same size so we could put the same number on the front and back.
We had 8 for the front and 8 for the back.
8 and 8 is 16


Then for fun we grouped them a different way. We put them into 4 groups. There were 4 poppies in each group.
We found out that 4 and 4 and 4 and 4 is 16




We had some extra small white poppies on paper. We counted all the little poppies on the white paper. There are 100. Wow! That's a big number.



We looked at our 100's board. There are 100 numbers on the 100 board.


We looked at our poppies. There are 100 white poppies on our paper.



We counted them together by 1's and by 2's and by 10's to get to 100. Our teacher helped us.
We had fun doing maths with our poppies.
