This week Year 2 have started learning about tally charts. To practise making tally charts they went into the school car park and tallied up the different car colours they could see. After looking at their completed tally charts they found out white cars were the most common in the car park today.
Year 6 have been working hard problem solving in Maths in a range of tasks. We have worked in pairs and small groups and used the ‘Trial and Error’ method to find solutions.
To finish their work on shapes, Year 2 have been sorting 3D shapes into categories based on the properties they have been learning about. There was lots of great mathematical thinking about faces, edges and vertices!
In Year 1 we have been learning about repeating patterns. We started with shape patterns and then moved onto making patterns with a range of materials. The children enjoyed moving around the classroom and experimenting with different patterns.
This week, year 5 have taken part in not one but two maths investigations. On Monday we joined the school maths investigation day and worked using trial and error to find a solution to a problem involving money. On Tuesday, Squirrels were joined by visitors from Isaac Newton who guided them through another investigation.
Year 6 have been working hard in maths and recapping multiplication. In pairs, they taught each other how to multiply 4 by 2 digit numbers together. There was lots of praise and excellent modelling- super teamwork!
Year 3 have worked super hard on partitioning this week and have explored 1, 10, 100 more and less today.
They were able to use base 10, place value counters and arrow cards to support them.
We are so proud of their grit and determination.
Year 3 have enjoyed using different manipulatives to partition numbers to 1000.
They showed great concentration and independence.
Year 3 explored adding 3 addends today.
They showed great independence using different resources and have been working hard at their presentation too.
Today Year 2 have been applying the multiplication and division skills they have been practising in lessons and became tiny teachers! They worked together in pairs to mark a Maths quiz Miss Hunter had completed and fixed any mistakes they found.
