MI’s final arithmetic practise paper

Today MI completed their final arithmetic paper before the real one next week!! Such focus and resilience today! Everyone was so eager to get their best score! Children then worked through the questions they got wrong proving they were able to answer all questions correctly. We will work on some of the incorrect answers in our arithmetic sessions tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Great work today MI 🙂

Magic Mathematicians

Crew Godley have been working hard in magic maths on one more and less, whilst also perfecting their number recognition and formation. We’ve worked so hard to ensure we are really listening to the quick fire questions. It was lovely to see the children collaborate and check each others understanding 🔢

Maths in MI

We explored the inverse in our magic maths session today as well as consolidating our knowledge on measure. We divided and multipled by 10, 100 and 1000 when converting between units of measure.

Maths continues in MI

In magic maths we found the mean then converted between fractions, decimals and percentages. In our main maths lesson, we continued to look at word problems. Such hard work again in MI 🙂

Word problems in maths

Such resilience today in our maths lesson where we tackled some challenging word problems. Such collaborative working, supporting each other to get smart. A great start to the week MI 🙂

Symmetrical patterns in MI

Today we looked at different patters where we tried to reflect them across a line of symmetry. We then used a mirror line to help us to draw missing sides of shapes. We also thought about what shapes we had created. We used a mirror to help support our learning.

A great first day back in MI

We started our day with a morning task around formal and informal language and the children worked hard to unpick the questions, discussing their answers with a partner then voicing their thoughts. We built on this in our main grammar session where we thought more about Standard and Non Standard English.

In our arithmetic session we looked at misconceptions from our previous arithmetic paper then applied our knowledge to a variety of questions.

In our maths lesson we looked at coordinates across 4 quadrants. We took part in a range of activities plotting coordinates, finding coordinates and making shapes. We then applied our knowledge to some reasoning and problem solving questions which really challenged our thinking.
