Our do now allowed us to recap our work on time, using past and to on an analogue clock. We then moved onto our new unit- statistics. We explored pictograms today which we really enjoyed. In magic maths we played lots of games to practise our times tables then we recapped some work on fractions. Some great maths learning in MI today 🙂
Today in our maths lesson we recapped telling the time to o’clock and half past.
We ended our lesson by playing a board game!
This week in maths we have been exploring arrays to support us with our multiplication and division, it was a little tricky but with some perseverance we finally cracked it! We worked hard to use what we already know to support our learning, our practical resource came in very handy to solve some problems.
Today we put our directions to the test to help some pirates recover their treasure. We used directions such as forwards, backwards, clockwise and anti-clockwise as well as full, half and quarter turns!
Today we continued our work on time where we consolidated our learning on past then moved onto to. We showed the time on our own clocks, wrote the time then added the minute and hour hands to clocks to show the time. A great focussed maths lesson MI 🙂
Crew Hamill have just begun their maths unit on money. Today, we focused on pounds and pence, identifying what each of the notes and coins that we use look like and discussing their value. We then worked in mini crews to create different amounts using imitation money which we loved! We couldn’t believe how real it looked! We also looked at groups of money and had to use our counting skills to work out the total amounts.
Today in maths, we built on our previous knowledge of interpreting pictograms and used this to help us draw pictograms. The most important thing to do is read the key! Once you know what the key is, you can draw the symbols for the pictogram!
Today in maths, Crew MW have looked at what happens when we take away from a number. We did lots of practising with our tens frames and counters, and we worked out that when we take away, the number gets smaller! We started by making a number that Miss Welburn had given us on our tens frames, then taking away the amount that Miss Welburn said. We were all really good at using our subitising and number bond facts to say how many were left!
Next, we practised choosing our own numbers and making these using our treasure! Then our partners closed their eyes and we stole some of the treasure! Our partner had to work out how much of the treasure had been stolen using our number bonds facts.
