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 🙂
I am so proud of my arithmetic superstars! Everyone in Crew Mcloughlin has improved on their arithmetic score since our first test in week 3; not just by the odd mark either! You have ALL blown me away but in particular a big shout out to Layton, Ava K, Keaton and Kaitlynn for improving 10 marks plus!!! Keep up the great progress! Exciting times ahead for our Y6 mathematicians!
Today we used cubes to help us with division 🙂 We all worked well with our partner discussing how we could share and group the cubes.
Crew Hamill have worked their magic with their maths over the last few lessons. We began by adding two two-digit numbers and moved on to adding two three-digit numbers, some of which involved exchanging into the 10s and 100s columns!
