Consolidating Maths Learning

Today, Crew Hamill consolidated their maths learning on the transition of shapes as we found it a little bit tricky during our first lesson. We began by playing a game in which we had to get a monster around the grid in order to eat all of his lunch. Once we had worked out how to get to each item individually, we worked in pairs to create a maze that the monster could follow to collect all of his meal items in one trip. Following this, we completed a MyMaths lesson to demonstrate our improved understanding. We are now ready to move on to our next maths lesson tomorrow.

Consolidating 24 Hour Time

Crew Hamill had a more practical lesson today to help consolidate their understanding of 24 hour clocks. We were ensuring we had a clear understanding of how to convert 12 hour time into 24 hour time by taking part in a carousel of activities.

  1. Matching written times to the correct digital representation.
  2. Completing a table of conversions.
  3. Completing a lesson on MyMaths

Writing Money as Decimals

Crew Hamill kick-started their money unit by exploring different amounts of money and ensuring we knew how to write them correctly with a pound sign and decimal point. We took part in a carousel of activities:

  1. Table 1 – Select a card, write the amount on the card in decimals.
  2. Table 2 – Money problems – choose a question, solve, repeat.
  3. Table 3 – Physical money – dip your hand into the box to pull out 3 amounts (coins or notes). Write your total in decimals.
