Fun and active ways to practise times tables proved a hit this afternoon. It’s amazing how competitive the usually quite ones were…you know who you are people! Well done and keep practising those multiplication facts at home too. Perhaps you could challenge others at home like we did with each other today? Let’s get those minutes and scores up on TT!

Today in Maths, we noticed that any number divided by itself always equals 1. We also noticed that the quotient (answer) of a division question will be the same as the dividend (the amount that will be divided) if our divisor (what we divide by) is 1.
Well done everyone – some great links made today. I wonder if you can apply today’s fluency to tomorrow’s reasoning and problem solving…

This week, we are exploring the composition of the number 6 in whole class maths. In provision, we have been using our knowledge of numbers to call the story book characters on the phone. We have had some great chats! We have been learning to write the number 6, starting in the correct place and measuring items from the Goldilocks story, using cubes. Mrs Bubb is so impressed with our hard work in maths and we can see every day that we are getting smarter!
The growth in everyone’s confidence in Maths over the last couple of weeks has been so rewarding to witness. Well done to everyone who comes to me for their Maths lessons. Keep listening carefully, working hard and getting smart – the manipulatives really will help you if you use them correctly. I saw great work with them today: helping you to solve problems about multiples of 12.

Today in maths our fractions unit has come to an end so I challenged 6B to each lead part of today’s lesson to the rest of their group. They consolidated their fractions learning by modelling to their peers how to answer a range of SATs style questions and they smashed it!Future teachers in the making for sure!

With the help of the 5 little Speckled Frogs song, we learned more about the composition of the number 5. We then used manipulatives to demonstrate our learning on a part whole model. At the end, we consolidated our learning by using the sentence ‘5 is made up of…and ….’ Ask our children if they know how 5 is made?
