Estimating numbers to 10000

17th September 2024Laura Hamill

To consolidate our learning, Crew Hamill took part in a practical lesson in which we became a number line to 10,000 in order to deepen our understanding on how to estimate numbers on a number line. We began by each being a different number, starting with our start and end numbers (0 and 10,000) and adding in the interval half way (5000) and half way again (2500 and 7500). Remaining children were then given a number between 0 and 10,000 and had to decide where they would place themselves along the line, thinking carefully about which of our interval numbers they would stand between and which one they would be closer to based on the value of their number. Once we had done this, we then worked in mini crews to mark on different interval values on number lines to 10,000 and placed a range of numbers where we estimated they belonged onto each line.

99 Club

12th September 2024Laura Godley

Crew Godley have been in a very competitive mood this week and challenging themselves to get smart. We have started our 99 club in maths and trying to answer as many questions we can in a given time! Some of the children have even moved onto the 55 club already, 55 questions in 3 minutes! It’s been challenging but the crew have showed that their resilience is developing.

Missing number fun in Crew Marsh

Crew Marsh demonstrated their knowledge of number by writing the missing number on a number line on their whiteboards. Mrs Atherton gave us critique to ensure our numbers were the right way round, we then fixed our work if we needed to.

Partitioning in MI

9th September 2024Stacey McClare

Our entry ticket consolidated our learning when writing numbers in words and with digits. Our main learning was looking at 4 digit numbers with lots of practise around partitioning. We even managed to challenge ourselves further working on different problem solving and reasoning questions too. A great lesson MI 🙂

Magic Maths

9th September 2024Laura Godley

Today in magic maths we’ve been exploring our times tables and how we can use a place value chart to support multiplying by ten. The challenge, wasn’t a challenge at all! I’m so proud of the progress Crew Godley are making with their maths!

Arithmetic

28th June 2024Laura Hamill

In arithmetic, we have worked hard to ensure we are using the squares in our maths books accurately, ensuring there is one number in each square. We have also worked hard to ensure all of our numbers are formed correctly, a ruler is used to draw any lines and we use appropriate spaces between calculations so that we can read our work properly and it is presented to the best of our ability. We focused on addition of 3 digit numbers with exchanging and some of us were even able to move on to four and five digit numbers!
