Our do now activity today allowed us to recap and consolidate our learning on line graphs 🙂 We then moved onto our position and direction maths unit where we explored coordinates. We looked at the different axis and the direction we move in in order to find and plot coordinates. We really enjoyed our lesson today 🙂
In maths, we have moved on to our new topic shape. We started off by looking at angles and turns. We practiced quarter turns, half turns, three quarter turns and full turns. We then practiced going clockwise and anti-clockwise. We then worked in pairs to practice turns.
This afternoon, we have done some whiteboard word on some gaps in our arithmetic which are few and far between. We’ve been revisiting ones where we have made a minor error in the calculation rather than not knowing how to do it. We will continue revising different questions types until we’ve completed our assessments in week 3.
In our final statistics lesson, Crew Hamill worked on reading data from tables and inputting missing data. We looked at a range of different questions in mini crews in which we had to use tables of data to identify values. These questions involved addition and subtraction too so we were able to recap our written methods.
To complete our statistics unit in maths, Crew Hamill began by learning how to interpret bar charts. We looked at what a bar chart was and worked as a crew to discuss what different bar charts were illustrating. We then worked in mini crews to answer questions on what the bar charts were showing us. After this, we used the information we gathered when completing pictograms and this time illustrated the data in our own bar charts.
Today we interpreted line graphs which we all enjoyed 🙂
Yesterday afternoon, we were set the challenge to see if Miss Shields had made any mistakes in the arithmetic test. This is a skill that we’ve been trying to improve as we have been making some minor errors in our arithmetic tests that could be corrected if we ensured we checked our working out. We were able to spot the mistakes and could identify where she had gone wrong.
Crew Hamill had so much fun in maths today when we worked as a crew to gather data about all of our favourite things. We then used this data to create pictograms that illustrated our findings. We talked about the key and which pictures and values would be best to represent our data. After we’d done a couple together, we then worked on gathering our own data and producing our own pictograms.
Today we continued our maths work on bar charts where we interpreted them then had a go at drawing our own.
Today we consolidated our learning on digital time and pictograms in our do now activity then Interpreted bar charts in our main maths lesson 🙂
