This week in 3rd class we have been exploring 3D shapes. We had a discussion on the different properties of 3D shapes that we knew about – faces, vertices and edges. The group were able to come up with lots of ideas and knew many of the different 3D shapes. Finally we had a go […]
This week 3rd and 4th class have been working hard on their time tables knowledge. We have been practising different times tables and identifying patterns we can find in them. Finally we have been playing different times table games. We have enjoyed playing Kahoot where the children work as part of a team to answer […]
This week in 3rd class we have been exploring fractions. The group started by creating a fraction wall and different fraction circles. The children were able to use this resource to find equivalent fractions and explain how they knew they were correct. Finally we practised adding and subtracting fractions with the help of the fraction […]
This week in 4th class we have been looking at perimeter problems! The children were excellent at reading the word problems and deciding how best to work out the solution. The children realised it was easier to add up some of the numbers separately, rather than adding up all the lengths of the shape at […]
This week we have been exploring money and problem solving. The group had to work out a budget to create their dream home. They used their multiplication skills successfully to find out how much money they would have to spend. The children then selected the items this wished to buy and kept track of how […]
This week the children have been exploring long multiplication. The groups are using their knowledge of times tables to help them work out a range of multiplication problems. To finish the week the group had to solve a tricky multiplication sum to crack the code of a padlock. The group worked really well as a […]
This week we have been exploring place value. The children were able to order and compare different whole and decimal numbers. In 6th class the group looked at a game where they needed to pick random numbers to create a decimal number. The player with the biggest number won the game. The children were very […]
This week in 3rd class we have been looking at adding and taking away. The children were able to create different numbers using place value counters and worked together to add them and take them away from each other. The group worked well to calculate how to carry over when adding and used the counters […]
This week in 6th class we have been solving word problems using the 4 operations. The children have worked hard at adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying. The group were able to discuss their answers well and successfully check if they were correct or not. For our final project the children solved a problem where they […]
This week in 6th Class we have been looking at different types of problem solving questions. The children worked well to discuss ideas in their group and come up with different solutions to a given problem. Some of the children were able to create their own questions for the rest of the group to solve […]
This week we have been exploring Fractal Triangles. We have been investigating the different patterns we can create using one shape in different sizes. The children worked really hard to create both 2D and 3D Fractal patterns. They were able to discuss the patterns they found and share ideas. Here is some of our work […]
This week 3rd and 4th class children have been working hard and looking at different addition sums. The children worked well to answer addition questions as quickly as possible to create a cup tower. The children successfully together to create the biggest tower possible using their knowledge of addition. We can now use these number […]
This week we have been looking at division and division word problems in 6th Class. The children worked well together to solve different problems and share ideas. We used our knowledge of times tables to help us work out our division facts. We were able to share our answers with the rest of the group […]
This week we have been working hard on practising our times tables. Third, fourth and sixth class have been exploring their tables and looking for patterns. Working as a group we have been able to find different patterns and use this information to help us answer times table questions! Finally we played a times table […]
This week in Third Class we have been working very hard at our maths learning. We started the week by finding different fractions to make pizzas and worked well as part of a team to do this. We had to use our team work skills again when faced with a fractions problem. Working together we […]
