We had a great maths lesson today where we continued our work on decimals. We used the knowledge we had gained in our previous decimal lessons to convert between decimals and fractions 🙂 There was some great collaborative working in the main activity 🙂
In Maths, we have been learning about statistics and in particular line graphs. Being able to draw an accurate line graph is quite a tricky skill to learn so we spent some time practicing how to draw line graphs. As part of this, we used varying number increments on the graph so children started to understand that they won’t always go up in 1s or 2s.
Today we made a start on section 3 of our SLCs (which stands for student led conferences). This is so we can practise for January so we know what to say and are confident to present.
Next, we engaged in some active magic maths; we went around the class to answer consolidation fraction arithmetic questions which were stuck around the room. Watch us here in action…
We also started our CS3 computing, we learnt about coding and some interesting facts about binary (this is the language of computer systems).
We also fitted in some rehearsal practise so we felt ready for our presentation of learning on Thursday and to ensure it would be out of this world! – Connor
Today we consolidated the learning we had just done around decimals by taking part in a kahoot quiz! Such engagement by all!
Children in KS1 have been working and getting smart exploring place value in arithmetic this week. We’Ve counted forwards, backwards, ordered numbers, completed number lines, the list is endless! Our magical mathematicians have been working so hard 🧮
This week we’re continuing our work with fractions. It’s great seeing everyone working hard to get smart but the standout praise is for how well we support each other if we’re struggling!
Today we discovered if we work hard then it makes us feel so proud of ourselves. Today in maths I was so proud of our little crew 😊 We introduced addition and how we can use the part, whole, model to support this. obviously, working with smarties helped a lot 😋 The children blew me away with their language around addition, we’d remembered so much already after exploring this briefly last half term.
Oh the brains in Crew Shields were tested this morning. We have finished up our addition and subtraction unit with multistep problems. This is an area that children can find tricky as there is more to think about to ensure they arrive at the correct answer. It was great seeing them get stuck in and challenge themselves. Good job everyone!
