Multiplication

This week we have been counting in 2s,5s and 10s. Today, we made equal groups of 5 and tried to count them in 5s. Some of us needed to use a 100 square to help us see the pattern of counting in 5s. We are going to practice counting aloud in 5s to 50. Maybe you could try at home too to make it easier to count things in groups of 5. Most of us were good at counting aloud in 2s and 10s so we could count the groups more easily.

Sorting objects

The focus of our maths learning this week is sorting. Today we listened to a story about sorting and how objects can be sorted in different ways. We practiced sorting vehicles in different ways.

John-Boy got a postcard today for working really hard in this lesson and challenging himself to sort in different ways. Well done John-Boy.

Ordering in different ways

Kaya has been interested in creating number lines in different ways. She has used greater and less, said the numbers and has compared them. She started with the number cards, then ordered Numicon. She used pictures to count along the line. In the afternoon she continued her learning by ordering number tiles and making cube towers to match. I praise you Kaya for your focus and talking about what you were learning.

Pretend shopping

Today we have been learning about money. We talked about how much things cost and ifwe had enough money to buy what we wanted. The children took turns being the customer and the shop keeper.

Doubling

In maths this week we have been looking at doubles. F2W have become really confident in spotting doubles and explaining why, some children can also recall me some doubles.

What do you notice?

In maths we have been using the question “What do you notice?” This has prompted lots of discussions around what the children can see. They have then applied this learning to representations using the 10 frame.

Ellie and Kaya made up a game where they took turns to be the teacher sharing their learning. John made circles to show what he had learnt. Maisie and Kyla had a competition to see if they could work out the patterns on the 10 frame the fastest.
