In maths this week, we have been learning about angles and turns. Today, we learnt the terms acute, right and obtuse to describe angles and created our own.

Pancake making in Crew MI🥞
Before half term, we had been learning about mass and capacity and what better way to apply what we had learnt than making pancakes! Carefully, we worked in groups to measure out the ingredients accurately. Finally, we added on our toppings of choice and then we got to eat them- delicious 😋
Telling time…
In magic maths, we have been looking at how to tell the time. We had a quick recap before having a go ourselves.
Fractions with bagels…
In maths, we used bagels to help us understand how to partition a mixed number. Some of us found this quite difficult but after Miss Shields demonstrate we feel a bit more confident with it. We’ll do some more fluency style questions tomorrow to ensure we can apply this knowledge.
Finding 1 more in maths
Today in maths, we were exploring finding 1 more. We chose a number from the spinner, made it and found 1 more! We were really confident in making the number and then showing what 1 more would be using our tens frames and counters.
MI start their shape unit
Today we looked at clockwise and anti clockwise, exploring turns. We looked at a quarter turn, a half turn, a three quarter turn and a full turn. We enjoyed exploring the turns with our own bodies 🙂 We then applied our learning to some written questions.
Arithmetic in MI
A fantastic arithmetic session today, working on a variety of different questions.
Addressing gaps in maths
In maths we have been revisiting gaps in our learning from the year so far. Our arithmetic of four operations is secure so we are revisiting multi-step worded problems which we found tricky at the start of the year. To begin with we unpicked various problems together – starting with one step to build our understanding. Then in partners did lots of wipeboard work. When miss assessed we were ready to move on – we picked SATS problems from around the room to solve – it really helped collaborating with others to read and understand the given problems. Y6 are smashing their learning!
Investigating the number 8 🔎
In maths we have been investigating the number 8, finding different ways that 8 can be made.
MTC Practice
Yr 4 is all systems go as we prepare for our MTC test later this year. We have been split into 4 groups and we take part in a carousel of activities each day to ensure we know our timetables and will be confident with them when the time comes to complete our MTC.
