Creating and continuing patterns

12th October 2026Sarah Mcglone

We have been working on AB patterns in maths, looking at how to create them, and how to continue them correctly and accurately. Some of us used our new mathematical knowledge to use the resources in the small world area to create our own AB patterns. We even challenged our friends to continue the pattern until there were no more wooden treasures left in the correct colours. If we made a mistake, we talked about how we could fix it so the pattern was correct. Thea even decided to make her own pattern using the coloured pencils in the creative area!

Magic Mathematician’s

25th September 2026Laura Godley

Today, Crew Godley have been working hard in Maths as we continue our learning about place value. We used a range of practical manipulatives to help us build, represent and understand numbers, thinking carefully about the value of each digit.

We enjoyed getting hands-on with our learning and used the manipulatives to explain our mathematical thinking. We are becoming more confident at recognising the importance of each place within a number and applying our knowledge to different challenges.

We worked hard, got smart and showed great mathematical thinking!

Mastering The Rekenreks!

17th September 2026Betty Ramsay

We have been mastering our norms for using the rekenreks in Crew Ramsay including; reds ready to go, fast maths eyes and 1 bead push! We are getting better and better at making numbers with one push! Crew Ramsay LOVES Maths.

Totally Value-able Maths

9th September 2026Hannah McLoughlin

In Crew McLoughlin, we have been working hard to develop a secure understanding of place value. We have been exploring the value of each digit in a number and using our knowledge to read, write, partition and compare numbers. We have enjoyed using practical resources and mathematical representations to help strengthen our understanding and explain our thinking.

Place Value in Crew MI

7th September 2026Emily Ibbotson

What a week we have had in maths! Crew MI have been amazing mathematicians this week and showed great resilience when tackling some tricky problems. We have used the concrete resources to support us with our learning and have played some great maths games along the way. Keep this great up as work up to millions next week!
