The children in Crew Frost have been working extremely hard to unpick the number 7. They used cubes to find the different number bonds to create 7 and then used this method to complete their own part, part whole model.

Arithmetic in MT
Lots of hard work and resilience this afternoon in our arithmetic session 🙂
Writing Money as Decimals
Crew Hamill kick-started their money unit by exploring different amounts of money and ensuring we knew how to write them correctly with a pound sign and decimal point. We took part in a carousel of activities:
- Table 1 – Select a card, write the amount on the card in decimals.
- Table 2 – Money problems – choose a question, solve, repeat.
- Table 3 – Physical money – dip your hand into the box to pull out 3 amounts (coins or notes). Write your total in decimals.
Working on our assessment gaps
Today in arithmetic we looked at some of the areas we needed to work on from our latest arithmetic assessment. Such a positive attitude by everyone 🙂
Times tables in MI
We love our daily times table sessions 🙂
Fractions and decimals in MI
Today we consolidated our learning on tenths then moved onto looking at hundredths. We were amazed that 1/10 was the same as 10/100. A great maths lesson in MI 🙂
Fractions
This week we have been exploring fractions, we have used many manipulative to secure our understanding and on Friday, it got a whole lot tastier! We used parts of a pizza to understand denominators. When we divided our pizza into equal slices, we could visualise that each slice represented a fraction of the whole pizza. Who knew math could be so delicious?
Timestable carousel
We really do love our timestable sessions 🙂
Maths in MI
Magic maths allowed us to consolidate our learning on measure where we converted between units before ordering from shortest to longest. The main part of our maths lesson looked at using bar models to find equivalent fractions. We all then moved onto some reasoning and problem solving questions. The problems today proved to be really challenging however children showed great resilience, supporting each other to talk through the problems and showing their working out with a bar model. Great collaborative working MI 🙂
Fact Families
In magic maths, we have been focusing on fact families so we worked as a small group matching the multiplications and divisions.
