Crew MW have been exploring repeating patterns this week in maths. We have copied patterns, continued patterns and made our own patterns using cubes, vehicles and natural resources around provision. We even challenged ourselves to spot the mistake in Miss Welburn’s patterns!
Today we started to unpick our arithmetic test from last week, working on some of the questions we answered incorrectly.
Our crew enjoyed playing shops this morning as our maths topic is money.
Crew MW have been exploring mass in maths today. We have been using our scales to weigh objects and compare which one is heavy and which one is light. We were really good at using our mathematical language to compare!
This week, we have been grouping objects and talking about similarities and differences in maths! We’ve used our natural objects to create groups, and used the language, ‘more than’ and ‘less than’ to compare the groups.
This morning we worked really hard and have been exploring our fraction wall. At first we thought that the bigger then number, the bigger the fraction but we soon learnt that was not the case. Actually, the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
In Crew Pashley, we love listening and watching Numberock songs to help us with our Maths. This week, we have been learning to count by 10 and doubles through watching the Numberock videos! We are getting better at remembering lots of different number facts. Our favourite video is the doubles song below!
This term we have been writing about and reading Little Red Riding Hood. For our experience morning, in Crew Pashley, we made a witches potion ✨ for the Bad Wolf🐺 from Little Red Riding Hood. We discussed other ways to get rid of the wolf, like scaring him. The potion is used to get rid of the wolf when he eats grandma by turning him into a frog. We included lots of different things in our potions, including beads, pasta, rice and pom poms. We practised measuring out the potion into containers using a fake syringe, cups and the spoons.
Today we consolidated our place value knowledge in our magic maths session. We also started looking at fractions which we all enjoyed 🙂
