Year 3 enjoyed making fraction walls in their lesson today before placing fractions onto a number line.

Comparing Non Unit Fractions
Today we used the blocks to explore and compare non unit fractions.
Concrete Maths To Launch A New Unit!
We have been busy in our concrete maths session using sticks to build numbers as part of our Multiplication and Division unit. To kickstart this unit, pupils used sticks in bundles of 12 to make equal groups. They drew upon their shape learning to make equal groups too. We then had a gallery walk to see the different representations and orientations before making ‘unequal groups’. What a brilliant day of hands on Maths!
Fractionopoly
Some children in year 6 have been playing Fractionopoly to help them learn and remember fractions in a fun and engaging way. The game encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and quick thinking while reinforcing key fraction skills.
Fabulous Fractions
Today in maths we began our first fractions unit. We used coloured paper to deepen our understanding of the denominator. We learnt that the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
TTRS Battle – Colclough vs Robson
Calling all rockstars!!
You have two weeks to answers as many questions as possible to ensure your crew is crowned champion.
Multiplication Madness
Today we began to grapple with 2 digit x 1 digit multiplication. We recapped the use of the part whole model and used this to help multiply more manageable numbers. We had to show lots of courage to give it a go and there was lots of children offering to coach too. Well done CrewRobson!
Red is ready to go!
This week the crew Frost have been introduced to a rekenrek. A rekenrek is a is a hands-on maths teaching resource used to help young children visualize and learn essential early years maths. It is perfect for building up subitising skills and concrete experiences during their maths sessions putting their fast maths eyes to the test. However, to start in crew Frost we have just been practicing the golden rules for using a rekenrek such as “red is ready to go” meaning we always push with the color red at the front and only with one finger and one big push! Once crew Frost mastered this we were able to have a go at pushing just one red bead across and to really challenge two for some! Well done crew frost you were amazing at it!
Chocolate Crew!
Crew Ramsay would like to acknowledge the kindness and generosity of the donators of our advent calendars. We have loved counting down the days to Christmas so far. We have learned to take turns, recognise numerals and share life’s little joys with our friends… what a beautiful way to be a crew! Thank you!
Numbers 10 and a bit bigger
In Y1 we have started looking at numbers bigger than 10. Ready for our learning after Christmas. We have been looking at how numbers bigger than 10 are made up of 10 and a bit. 10 and 1 more, 10 and 9 more etc.
