Yesterday we used a written method for multiplication. We looked at multiplying two and three digit numbers by a one digit number. We even challenged ourselves with some reasoning and problem solving questions 🙂

Exploring arrays in MI
Today we looked at what we mean by multiplication and division…
We used cubes to explore arrays then worked with our partner on a problem solving question. We have really enjoyed our maths lesson 🙂
Uno addition
Crew Godley have activated their new unit of maths, addition and subtraction by playing Uno addition. Our first job was to determine whether we would use one or two digit numbers, challenging ourselves. We then selected uno cards at random to add together. The challenge was to complete as many as we could in 5 minutes! We were all successful whilst showing off our quick fire skills.
Multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000
To help us understand what happens to numbers when we multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000, we became a human number. We looked at columns and were introduced to the decimal point. Ellie-May was a great decimal point and took her role very seriously, making sure she didn’t move! We then looked at what would happen to our number if we multiplied or divided by 10, 100 and 1000 and how our number would move one, two or three places on our place value chart.
Word problems in MI
Today we continued with our maths game where we solved lots of one step word problems. We are getting much more confident when deciding on which operation is needed.
Maths learning this week
In maths this week we have focused on multi-step worded problems using our addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills. In arithmetic we have also learnt squared and cubed numbers, order of operations and have continued consolidating long division. Keep up the great work Crew Mcloughlin! We are working so hard!
Maths in MI
Our do now allowed us to consolidate our learning on roman numerals, we are all getting really confident with these 🙂 The activate part of the lesson really got us thinking. ‘The answer is 100’ What could the question be? There were some great collaborative working on this and some great questions were generated. Well done MI 🙂
Arithmetic consolidation
To consolidate our operation skills we participated in a carousel of activities. There were four stations: short division, long division, long multiplication and TTRS as we are still getting some questions incorrect because of our times tables knowledge!
Roman numerals…
Today in Crew MI, we enjoyed learning about roman numerals. We decided it was like trying to crack a code. We learnt that different letters meant different symbols and we had to put them in the right order to create our numbers. We then put this into practise a completed a task on my maths.
Fact Families
To activate our lesson today on fact families we built our own houses. We then used our knowledge of number bonds to learn about the four number sentences that make up a fact family.
