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. 

This week in Maths, Year 4 have been focussing on translating coordinates on a grid!

This week in Maths, we addressed our misconceptions surrounding symmetric figures!

Today Y5 have had a hands on lesson examining 3-D shapes and their properties. We have reminded ourselves of their names and also examined the number of vertices, edges and faces they have. The children have then created fact files of these on their tablets that they can look back at later on.

Today in Maths, the children have been working hard at dividing 1 and 2 digit numbers by 100!

Today in maths we have learnt how to use our protractors to measure angles up to 180 degrees, the children have been using vocabulary such as the origin on a protractor and the vertex which is where two lines meet. We also had to classify whether the angles we measured were acute, obtuse or right…

Year 6 have been using their iPads to work though Maths problems with their teacher. Using our technology means that all children are engaged and taking an active role in every lesson.
