Maths

We talked about all the different vocabulary to describe what we were doing. Division, shared by and groups of were all great suggestions. We then completed calculations and the blocks helped us to understand where the remainder comes from. It helped to rectify our mistakes too.

The Polar bears have been using a range of online and concrete manipulatives to represent 4 digit numbers, and then combining them with other numbers with a focus on regrouping.

The Polars Bears used place value mats and counters to identify when and how regrouping occurs. They enjoyed the opportunity to see the maths.

The Sunflowers and Daffodils have been exploring length and using lots of mathematical vocabulary. Look at the different lengths of our worms.
 

The Polar Bears thought of different ways to generate numbers before rounding to 100, 1000, 10000 and even 100000.

At the start of year, when it was incredibly hot, the Sea Lions took their learning outside. We looked closely at place value and the children asked each other some tricky questions!

The Robins have been working on units of measure. Here they are ordering with litres and millilitres to try and understand the relationship.

The Badgers have loved building their own fraction walls in maths. We have used the fraction walls to answer lots of different questions about fractions. The children have learnt what equivalent fractions are and are even beginning to make links to their times table and division knowledge to help them.

Year 6 are regularly playing games to practise their recall of facts. Here they are working on their knowledge of fraction and decimal equivalents.

The Year 3 Foxes have enjoyed finding factors using arrays. Have they found them all? How do you know?
