Perfecting percentages!

This morning, this lovely lot smashed percentages and I could not be prouder! They applied their skill set this afternoon in their weekly arithmetic test and they all got full marks in the percentage questions!

Keep up the hard work 6B!

SATs parent workshop!

Our parents have been working hard the at last SATs revision session. Our focus was multiplying fractions! This week we are moving onto dividing fractions. We hope to see you all there! The extended study which you can complete at home is the ā€˜fractionsā€™ section in your maths revision books.

The parents smashed adding and subtracting fractions!

Yesterday in our maths parent workshop, we looked at adding and subtracting fractions. The parents did such a fantastic job and then they were able to support their children with their SATs revision.

Thank you to everyone who came to support. The online task for those who couldnā€™t is now on Google classroom. After half-term, we will be looking at multiplying and dividing fractions!

I am taking over my teacherā€™s job!

I think I need to watch my back! The confidence growth in this young man has been phenomenal over the last few weeksā€¦To stand in front of 30 children and explain your thinking out loud is really tricky but you handled it like a pro, Roscoe! Both myself and Mrs Pass are incredibly proud of you; and we hope you are also proud of yourself!

Our maths parent workshop!

A huge shout out to all of the parents who were able to join us on Thursday at our UKS2 maths parent workshop! They had the opportunity to work through an arithmetic paper just like their children will be sitting in a few months time!

In our next session, we will be looking at how to add and subtract fractions in order to further support their children at home.

The challenge for those of you who could not make it has been added to Google classroom and is due next Thursday!

Times tables challenge to competitive chaosā€¦

Fun and active ways to practise times tables proved a hit this afternoon. Itā€™s amazing how competitive the usually quite ones wereā€¦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? Letā€™s get those minutes and scores up on TT!

We can divide numbers by 1 and themselvesā€¦

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 todayā€™s fluency to tomorrowā€™s reasoning and problem solvingā€¦
