We love numbers! Maths is fun! Today we celebrated number day with lots of learning and fun activities all linked to numbers and maths. We worked hard to make our own number track games, match numbers, make numbers, jigsaws, bee bots and dominos! As well as using our counting skills outside! #LovePlover

We can find factors and factor pairs!
Year 4 have been busy exploring the factors and factor pairs of different values today. Well done every one. When using the manipulatives as modelled and instructed, you all managed to succeed today!
Be ready to find more factors and factor pairs of more challenging values tomorrow, folks!

Rockstar dress up day- Friday 9th January
We are so excited for our upcoming rockstar dress up day. A day where TT rockstar battles will take place to see who the ultimate TT rockstars are at Plover Primary school. We can not wait to see all of their children in their costumes. Please do not feel you have to purchase anything new. There are lots of examples of DIY costumes online including items you will more than likely already have at home.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s phase leader:

Marvellous mathematical manipulatives
Year 4 are making some marvellous strides with their use of manipulatives to support the building of their knowledge of multiplications facts and their inverse division facts.
I enjoy teaching this maths groups so much. They really do challenge themselves and support each other at the same time!
Well done every one…you all make me so proud and happy to be your teacher!

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!
Craftsmanship and quality in maths learning.
6L smashed long division again today. These superstars demonstrated craftsmanship and quality in their long division methods and I am so proud of them! 10 crew coins for working hard. Keep it up boys, I know you’ll smash those two markers next week!

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:
- Say the numbers in the correct order.
- Move only one object for each number you say.
- 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!
