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…
Magic maths in MI
Lots of consolidation in magic maths today 🙂
Area in MI
A fantastic maths lesson in MI today 🙂 First we consolidated our learning from last week on perimeter and then we learnt how we find the area of a 2D shape by either counting squares or by using a given formula. We even looked at how we find a missing side when we already know the area. Well done everyone 🙂
The Magic of Magic Maths 🧮
Crew MI have been working really hard this week consolidating their knowledge on place value, arithmetic and shape. Drip feeding this every day is really helping us to remember.
Number Day 2024 in Crew MW! 🔢
This morning in crew we went on a number hunt around school to find the digits 1 to 10. We worked hard to use our magnet eyes to make sure we found all the digits. Once we had collected them all, we took them back to the classroom and worked as a crew to put them in the correct order. We did a fantastic job and managed to successfully order the numbers!
Recognising 6, 7 and 8
In maths, we have started looking at the numbers 6, 7 and 8. To start us off, we worked together in small groups to sort different representations of each number. We talked about what we could see and why we thought it represented a certain number. If we felt we had made any mistakes, we discussed it together and corrected our choices.
