Crew MI did the arithmetic carousel where they worked in pairs going round the tables working out the answer and the comparing them.

Days of the week
In maths, we ordered and remembered the days of the week.
Magic Measures 📏🔢
Crew Godley have been working hard to get smart in maths, looking at measures this week. We’ve measured everything from a paper clip to Mr T’s smelly shoes 👞 It’s been great fun and our estimating skills have improved trying to guess how many cubes tall everything is🚪
Counting to 100!
Before moving into Y2 we have been practising our counting to 100. We have been able to work as a crew to order the numbers 50 to 100.
Finding doubles – outdoor maths!
We have been looking at what doubles are, and what happens to a number when you double it. We took our learning outside this week and had a ‘Doubles Hunt’! We each had to take a piece of numicon out of the mystery bag before searching the playground for the matching image. Once we had found it, we had to count what double the original number was. Even though we all had a piece, we worked well with our peers and showed fantastic team-work by helping each other find the correct image and then helping to count to find double that number. Excellent work Crew Welburn!
Boom, clap, snatch
Crew Marsh loved practising their 10 timetables in maths.
Maths in Crew MI
We are still working really hard in Crew MI to make sure that we are prepared for secondary school in September. This morning, we played with the timestable cards because we know it is really important we confident with these. After that, we played a fraction game where we had to roll a dice to generate fractions and then decide where to put them so we could add or subtract them to get the biggest numbers. Finally, we played Countdown numbers game. This was great fun!
Magic maths
In maths we consolidated our knowledge of FDP equivalents and algebra. We really showed collaboration and that we have still got our knowledge from being taught this months ago! 🤩

We enjoyed lots of chanting of our timestables in our magic maths sessions today. Then we did some quick recall on whiteboards, really pushing our pace. We recapped our knowledge of place value before taking part in a loop card activity. This involved quick thinking and working out answers quickly to see who had the answer to the question.
We then did a carousel of arithmetic, thinking about our pace and ensuring we remembered all the methods we had been taught. We worked with a partner for the carousel and there was some great coaching taking place. This was a pleasure to see where children were coaching children through the different methods needed whilst offering support at the same time.
