A fantastic arithmetic session today, working on a variety of different questions.

Addressing gaps in maths
In maths we have been revisiting gaps in our learning from the year so far. Our arithmetic of four operations is secure so we are revisiting multi-step worded problems which we found tricky at the start of the year. To begin with we unpicked various problems together – starting with one step to build our understanding. Then in partners did lots of wipeboard work. When miss assessed we were ready to move on – we picked SATS problems from around the room to solve – it really helped collaborating with others to read and understand the given problems. Y6 are smashing their learning!
Investigating the number 8 🔎
In maths we have been investigating the number 8, finding different ways that 8 can be made.
MTC Practice
Yr 4 is all systems go as we prepare for our MTC test later this year. We have been split into 4 groups and we take part in a carousel of activities each day to ensure we know our timetables and will be confident with them when the time comes to complete our MTC.
Marvellous Measurements! 📏
Crew Hamill have been learning how to add measurements this week and we consolidating our learning today by finding measurements around the room and using the column method to add them together. We worked really hard on ensuring our columns lined up and that we could add the measurements accurately, starting with our ones. Some of us even challenged ourselves to add metres and centimetres, converting between the two!
Fractions of shapes ✂️
This week, in magic maths, we have been looking at halving and quartering shapes. We talked about each part must be equal. We talked about how 2 parts or 4 parts make a whole shape.
Divide by 6
In arithmetic this afternoon, we were learning how to divide by 6. We have found this a little tricky as we struggled to see how many groups of 6 we could make especially if there were some left over. We got some cubes out so we could physically group it into 6. We’ll continue to work on this in our next arithmetic lesson.
Comparing Measurements (mm, cm and m)
Today, Crew Hamill consolidated their learning on millimetres, centimetres and metres by working in mini crews to match up measurements. We recapped how to convert between the measurements and this helped us to match them accurately.
Arithmetic in MI
We have had 2 amazing arithmetic sessions so far this week and there has been some incredible resilience shown. We have worked on many different areas from our previous arithmetic assessment and tried to consolidate and practice. We are getting much more confident which is so lovely to see 🙂
Investigating number 6!
Crew MW have been investigating number 6 today. We’ve used the numicon to find the different ways to make 6 and shared these with our friends. Have a look at some of the ways that we found…
