Today we started to unpick our arithmetic test from last week, working on some of the questions we answered incorrectly.
MI working hard on arithmetic gaps

Mass in maths!
Crew MW have been exploring mass in maths today. We have been using our scales to weigh objects and compare which one is heavy and which one is light. We were really good at using our mathematical language to compare!
Division in MI
Today we used cubes to help us with division 🙂 We all worked well with our partner discussing how we could share and group the cubes.
Multi-Step Addition and Subtraction Problems in Crew Boswell
Today we played a board game to develop our understanding of multi-step problems. At first, it was a little tricky picking out the sums in the questions but after a little practice and help from our friends we started to get the hang of it!

Magic maths in MI
The work hard howl was really shown today in our magic maths session 🙂 Children really tried hard when they were challenged but all still ensured they had a positive attitude.
What makes Magic Maths magic?🪄✖️
In our first magic maths session a child posed the question ‘what makes Magic Maths magic?’ The magic is that all the bits we keep forgetting in maths and arithmetic lessons and consolidated in Magic Maths and when we keep drip feeding it in… Abracadabra! We remember!
Based on gaps in our baseline assessment we focused on squared and cubed numbers and ordering decimal numbers. We will keep consolidating this so it stays in our long term memory!
Place value
In Crew MI, we have been working really hard on our place value knowledge. We used the base ten and counters to create 3 digit numbers. We now understand the value of each of these digits.
Place value continues in MI
Today we used counters to build numbers on our place value grids and to consolidate our learning from Friday. We then applied our knowledge to a variety of fluency questions. A positive attitude by all in todays maths lesson.
