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.

Fractions

This week we have been exploring fractions, we have used many manipulative to secure our understanding and on Friday, it got a whole lot tastier! We used parts of a pizza to understand denominators. When we divided our pizza into equal slices, we could visualise that each slice represented a fraction of the whole pizza. Who knew math could be so delicious?
