Maths

We have been learning about position and direction. We can describe the position of an object and give directions!
 

In maths we have started learning all about position and direction. We have used the key vocabulary above, below and between to describe the position of different objects.

Directions

We continued our learning by using the key vocabulary forwards, backwards, left and right to give and follow directions around a grid.

We drew our own route and had to try and get our partners to copy. We used our knowledge of different types of turns (quarter, half, three-quarter and full) and their direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise) to help us.

To introduce our new topic ‘time’ we created number lines 1-12 and turned them into clock faces. We know there are 24 hrs in a day and 60 minutes in an hour!
 

We opened our own pizza parlour this week to work out fractions of amounts! We divided topping equally to find one half!

We have used our rekenreks to help us find missing numbers in part-part-whole models. We know that if we need to find a missing whole, we use addition and that if we need to find a missing part, we use subtraction.
