We used our rekenreks to make ten. We used one finger one push to move a number of beads and then saw how many were left on the other side. We saw five and five make ten without even moving any beads. Now we need to learn the other number bonds to ten facts. If you see us, ask us how we can make ten. Mrs Bubb hopes we will be able to tell you some!

We are marvellous mathematicians!
Well done and thank you to these superstars for being so kind as to help their friends understand how to compare decimal numbers using the < and > symbols! Your use of mathematical language was excellent. Talking your friends through the method of looking at each place value column in turn, and helping them to remember which symbol is which, enabled them to compare the decimal numbers accurately. Thank you and I hope you are proud of yourselves!
Let’s keep being kind to each other and working collaboratively so that together, we can make as much progress as possible before you become Year 5’s!

We are so proud of our Year 4 pupils
Well done to all of our Year 4 pupils who have worked really hard over the last few months to improve their recall of multiplication facts up to 12 x 12 in preparation for their official multiplication check this week. We couldn’t have asked more of you and really do appreciate that the pressure has been intense but you have all done your best; so thank you and well done. Please remember though: you may have completed your official checks, but it is still really important for you to continue to work on your multiplication recall. The quicker you can remember them, the more confident you will feel in maths next year and beyond!
Well done everyone!

We are dividing by 100
This week, we have been practising dividing by 100. To do this we have been dividing by 10, then dividing by 10 a second time. Using place value grids and counters has really helped some of us to see the division happening and therefore understand that we move the digits two columns to the right to divide a number by 100.
Well done everyone! Let’s continue to remember that it is okay to use the resources around the room to help us understand what we are doing.

Caziyah- the anchor chart queen!
This superstar has created an anchor chart for every unit of maths. She has then used these to lead not only her own learning but to coach her friends too!
I am so so proud of Caziyah. A perfect example of a 4 in working hard, getting smart and being kind in her HoWLs!

Wonderful maths work
Today, Mr Longley came to see our maths work. We showed him our ten fat sausages game to help us learn the numbers that make ten. After carpet time, Tommy made some work to show the numbers that go together to make ten. He didn’t have any help and he talked about the pairs of numbers that make ten, with confidence. Well done Tommy!

We can explain our thinking to each other
In maths, we have been thinking really carefully about how we approach different styles of mathematical questions. Explaining our thinking to each other has helped us to realise with more accuracy where we have been successful and where we need to make improvements.
Well done everyone and an extra shout out to Alex who has shown so much enthusiasm in Maths since returning to school after the Easter break. I am so proud of you all.
