Today we started to recap and consolidate our learning on hundreds, tens and ones. We used the base ten to make and explore numbers. Lots of us challenged ourselves further today, having a go at reasoning and problem solving questions.
In maths, we had the opportunity to play some boardgames which allowed us to practice some of our mental maths and timetables. In addition to this, we could practice sharing and turn taking which are important skills to develop.
Y4 have worked hard at reading line graphs this morning. We had to also use our reading skills to answer multi-step questions, we had to re-read the statements a few times to really understand the question. Some of us used rulers to really help with being accurate when reading the line graph data.
This week, Crew MW have been exploring their number bonds to 10 and writing these as addition sentences. We used the cubes to find the two parts, and then put them together to make the whole number of 10. We worked really hard to get smart in this lesson!
Today we plotted coordinates to create 2D shapes. We then applied our learning to reasoning and problem solving questions 🙂 Great work MI 🙂
Today in Maths we were looking at place value . We also had ago at making different numbers using base ten.
In arithmetic, we have worked hard to ensure we are using the squares in our maths books accurately, ensuring there is one number in each square. We have also worked hard to ensure all of our numbers are formed correctly, a ruler is used to draw any lines and we use appropriate spaces between calculations so that we can read our work properly and it is presented to the best of our ability. We focused on addition of 3 digit numbers with exchanging and some of us were even able to move on to four and five digit numbers!
Following our success with reading time on an analogue clock, Crew Hamill moved on to look at digital clocks. We discussed how we could find these in lots of places – on some watches, our phones, microwaves, ovens… We then looked at how to read a digital clock properly and what each of the digits means. Following this, we used our new knowledge to correctly match analogue clocks to digital clocks as well as the time in words.
We were fab at telling the time to the nearest hour!
In our arithmetic session today, Crew Hamill have been focusing on one of our gaps in learning that we identified from last week’s arithmetic test. We looked at multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers and recapped how to do this using the column method. Some of us even moved on to 3 digit by 1 digit!
