We have used a tower of ten cubes to find number bonds to 10. We have broken the tower and counted the two parts. From this, we were able to write the number bond on our whiteboard!

We have used double sided counter to practically find all of the number bonds for a given number. We were then able to write them into a number sentence, working systematically helped us to find all of the possibilities!

We have used part whole models and cubes to practically make number bonds within 10. We have shown different ways to make the same number. Some of us even wrote the addition number sentence for each one! 

We have begun to use part whole models. We have used cubes to make the parts and then counted them altogether to write the whole. Some children turned their part whole model on its side or even upside down but still used the part whole model correctly! 

We have used cubes to practically order them from smallest to greatest or greatest to smallest. We have also wrote the numbers underneath the concrete representations. 

Last week, we started our new Maths topic of ‘Fractions’. Our first lesson involved finding equivalent fractions and writing fractions in their simplest form. Fractions is a tricky topic in Y6 but we have no doubt Y6 will show their determination and resilience with their fractions…

We have compared groups of amount using the vocabulary fewer, more and the same. The children used counters, cubes or compare bears to make two groups and then verbally said if the groups were fewer, more or the same - “I have fewer counters than cubes. I have more cubes than counters.” They all…

We have practically worked out what one less of a given number is using the tens frames and the cubes. We made the number that was written on our tens frame, took one cube away and verbally said what one less of the given number is. 

During Maths, we have practically worked out what is one more than a given number. We have used concrete objects and the tens frames to make our given number, add one more to it and watch our number become larger!

This week we have been representing numbers and amounts in a variety of ways. During this lesson Year One represented objects practically using counters or bears in a tens frame.

Last week in Maths, we learnt to round numbers up to 10,000,000. This was a tricky lesson that will require more work however we showed our determination and resilience to try our best with our learning!

Today we have done some excellent maths in Sealion class, we were given a variety of objects which we then had to sort in as many ways as we could. We were able to sort the objects by colour, shape, size and catergory.
