Crew Godley continued with their maths units, time, today, recognising and ordering the days of the week. We were super smart with this and confidently ordered, discussed and problem solved too! We loved singing the days of the weeks song 🎶
Crew MW have been investigating number 6 today. We’ve used the numicon to find the different ways to make 6 and shared these with our friends. Have a look at some of the ways that we found…
Crew Godley have begun their new maths unit this week, Time. To begin with with delved into the language – before, first, next, after, then and finally! We ordered sequences of events and used sentences to articulate ours and other actions. We were very confident and carried out lots of activities to consolidate our knowledge.
Crew MI have been working really hard this week consolidating their knowledge on place value, arithmetic and shape. Drip feeding this every day is really helping us to remember.
This morning in crew we went on a number hunt around school to find the digits 1 to 10. We worked hard to use our magnet eyes to make sure we found all the digits. Once we had collected them all, we took them back to the classroom and worked as a crew to put them in the correct order. We did a fantastic job and managed to successfully order the numbers!
In maths, we have started looking at the numbers 6, 7 and 8. To start us off, we worked together in small groups to sort different representations of each number. We talked about what we could see and why we thought it represented a certain number. If we felt we had made any mistakes, we discussed it together and corrected our choices.
We have been investigating capacity in Crew MW. We had a number of containers on our table and had to discuss which we thought would hold the most and the least water. The only way we could find out was to investigate by filling them up!
We made our predictions before counting how many cups of water it would take to fill each container. We worked with a partner to compare the coloured pots first, we all thought that the taller pot would hold the most water.
We were correct! It held 2 cups of water, whereas the smaller pot held only 1 cup.
We then worked as a group to look at the 3 cylindrical containers. We were all very sure that the tallest container would hold the most but we were undecided on whether the thinner or the wider containers would hold the most… so we investigated it!
We were right about the tallest container, that held 8 cups of water! The container that held the least was the small, thin container – that only held 1 cup. The wider, but shorter container held 2 cups of water.
Crew Godley have been working hard, to get smart this week so that they can make their millions in years to come! We started our new unit, all about money. Jax was a superstar and could name and order the coins by value. We matched coins to values and then played a game on the iPads to reinforce our learning, well done Crew Godley!
Today we continued to work on calculating the perimeter in our maths lesson 🙂 We even moved onto some reasoning and problem solving questions which was fantastic to see.
In magic maths we worked really hard chanting our times tables and then worked on rockstars to continue to work on the pace of our times tables. We also consolidated our learning from last week looking at ordering numbers from smallest to largest and from largest to smallest. A great start to the day in MI 🙂
Today in Maths, we practiced counting in 3s altogether then we used our 2D shape knowledge to name then cut out the shapes ✂️to make some different animal pictures.
