Maths stars!

We have been working hard using manipulatives to understand how to add and subtract two 2-digit numbers from each other. We used lots of practice to make the numbers and to see the process of exchanging happening. We began to use more formal methods of organising our work. We have made great progress!

We have gone green!

Well done to these three amazing pupils who have gone green on their TTRockstars heat maps.

You really do rock, folks!

Just another Mathsy Monday…

It’s a good job the children had their brains switched on today! Mrs Bubb kept forgetting how to count carefully so the children had to remimd her! These were the rules they made:

  1. Say the numbers in the correct order.
  2. Move only one object for each number you say.
  3. Stop counting at your stopping number. (This tells you how many).

After correcting Mrs Bubb, the children had a go. Some of us needed reminding to stop at the stopping number but by the end, we all had thumbs up for being careful counters!

We are rocking those Roman numerals!

You see lollipop sticks, I see a building opportunity! Why just look at Roman numerals when we are learning about them when we can use lollipop sticks to build them instead? With a little bit of collaboration and a sprinkle of competitive spirit, time quite literally flew by whilst we were having fun. Erm, I mean learning! Excellent engagement and progress from everyone…well done folks!

Times Tables and Reading Stars!

Well done to the children who were among the first this year to receive awards for Times Table Rock Stars and Reading Plus – you really are ‘getting smart’! We can’t wait to see you, and more, being recognised again in Community Crew again soon.

Making Houses in Maths

Today we looked at shapes in a house. We noticed a square and triangle. Using lolly pop sticks we made our houses. 4 sticks to make the square and 3 sticks to make the triangle for a roof. #LovePlover

What is the value?

2P have been busy exploring numbers and the number system and recognising the tens and ones digits in 2-digit numbers. We have made numbers with different resources and identified the parts and wholes of different numbers. We are now exploring how we can use this knowledge to identify numbers on number lines. Great work!

Awesome maths- fantastic examples of craftsmanship and quality in 6B!

6B have smashed today’s maths lesson. They have shown courage by sharing their answers and working out with the rest of our crew. They are confidently reading and writing numbers up to ten million!

6B… your challenge is to complete page 6 in your maths CPG book. Please return your home learning to me for a ticket in our prize draw and you will also receive 10 crew coins for ‘getting smart’.

Composition of Number

In maths, we have already learned to subitise. That means we don’t need to count objects and pictures up to three. We can just say what we see. Now, we are looking at what four is. We made four with one and one and one and one. We explored what else it can be made of. Some of us made it with two and two, three and one, one and three or a tall tower, or four in a row. Sooo many ways of making four! It’s so exciting that we have so many more numbers to explore together this year!
