6B are leading their own learning in maths!

6B have been working hard on their academic pledges. This afternoon, they have been leading their own learning and working on their areas for development in maths. They have used models and our maths revision site to support. They are excited to smash their pledge this week!

Marvellous manipulatives!

In Year 3, we have been using manipulatives to deepen our understanding of equal grouping as our first step into Multiplication and division. Children have successfully used cubes to represent requests such as 6 equal groups of 5 and 5 equal groups of 6, making links that they have the same total value. Well done everyone, you worked really hard; used the cubes to get smart; were kind to others by helping out when needed; and produced some beautiful work too! Thank you Year 3…you rock!

Five and one more

In maths today we found out how to make six. They figured out 5 and 1 more was the quickest way to make 6 with out fast fingers! #LovePlover

5S working collaboratively in maths

A selection of children who had smashed their fractions learning worked as coaches to help other children with the ‘wonders’ on their work.

Well done to everyone for working hard to improve your work and to the kindness shown by our coaches!

Christmas Maths

In maths the children we spotting which were 2 or 3 colour repeating patterns and explaining how they know. Then we used our fine motor skills to make baubles, tinsel and stars with the disco dough! #LovePlover

Repeating patterns

F2 children have been learning about repeating patterns in maths. They decorated their Christmas party hats by completing a 2 or 3 colour repeating pattern. Can you spot the pattern? #LovePlover

Heavy or light?

This week we have been comparing objects by size, length and capacity. Today we have enjoyed exploring which objects are heavy, which objects are light, and using the scales to to compare this. We addressed the misconception that just because the object is bigger, it doesn’t mean it is heavier.

Well done to this week’s award winners

Well done to all the children who achieved certificates for their hard work at Times Table Rockstars and Reading Plus this week, keep up the amazing effort – we can’t wait to see more of you every week!

Fact Families

2P have been working hard to create fact families using manipulatives in Maths. We explored the parts and wholes and worked out the different positions they can be in when we write adding or subtracting number sentences. Great work 2P!
