In maths, we were introduced to metres as a unit of measurement. We used a metre stick to measure whether things around the classroom (including our own heights) were less than, equal to or greater than one metre....
In Maths, we have been adding and subtracting 2-digit multiples of 10 which cross the 100s boundary. We have been using the 'Make 100' strategy to help us add and subtract these numbers....
This week in Maths, Year 6 worked together in groups to compete in a game that involved speedily multiplying and dividing decimals by 10s, 100s and 1000s....
Year 2 have been using colourful straws to develop their understanding of comparing quantities. They practised using key mathematical vocabulary such as more than, less than, greater than, and equal to while sorting and comparing different amounts and colours....
In Year 1, we have been super mathematicians, using different strategies to find missing numbers and put them in the correct order. We were also able to use Rekenreks to identify amounts less than 10....
This week in Maths, we have been exploring the ‘same sum’ rule to help us solve calculations efficiently. We used dienes to visualise the concept by increasing one addend then decreasing the other addend by the same amount to keep the sum the same....
In Maths, we have been learning about multiples of 10 over 100. This is going to help us understand the place value of 3 digit numbers. We looked at different representations of multiples of 10 over 100, for example by using place value counters....
In Maths, we have been learning about the number 100, including the composition of 100 in 50s, 25s and 20s. This is helping us get a secure understanding of 100 before we move on to learn about the place value of three digit numbers....
Miss Mather’s maths group have been investigating connections within pairs of balanced expressions. We began with pairs of expressions that only used the operator of subtraction. Children were asked to look closely at the mathematical structure of the expressions, (i.e. do we have a missing minuend or subtrahend?) before attempting...
Year 2 have been using Multilink cubes to help solve additions by making tens sticks and adding on ones. They also worked on number bonds to 10 and 20, using the cubes to spot patterns....
