Today, 4TE were tasked to use their division skills within maths to solve a great crime! Through using great perserverence, teamwork and resilience, this bunch of budding detectives and mathematicians managed to crack the case! Great work, team!
Today, 4TE were given a very special assignment… Using their recently aquired proficiency of grid method multiplication, the children had to solve a series of questions in order to uncover a codeword which led to a stash of ‘gold’ hidden somewhere in the school! The children showed brilliant resilience and teamwork to perservere with the challenge and as can be seen, to eventually find the gold!
Today, Year 4 have been flexing their mathematical muscles by demonstarting their recent proficiency towards grid method multipliation! These messy multiplications showed the children’s grasp and they fully enjoyed themselves. Whether this enjoyment came from the maths or writing on the tables, remains to be seen!
What an amazing effort from these guys this week. Over 1211 classes entered the SumDog maths week competition with over 12,000 children around the country playing. 5HJ worked with determination to achieve 13th place with 9 children actually completely the maximum 1000 questions. I couldn’t be prouder of you all! What a team!
Today in 3SG we have been looking at greater than, less than and equals to symbols, putting our hard work into practise all over the tables! When we felt confident we then completed a challenge to finish off our maths lesson. The children are engaging in maths so well and I am so proud of how their collaboration today.
Today Yr 5 took part in an Expedition maths lessons looking at a whole range of data. Children visited numerous stations to compare astronaut statistics, order and round planets based on the distance from their moons and look at amounts spent by NASA and USSR over a period of 40 years. It was super to see the children grappling with such large numbers. Great job everyone!
Maths last week involved calculating the perimeter and area of a range of different shapes including rectilinear and irregular shapes. Children had to estimate the area of a range of irregular shapes and then calculate by counting the full squares, using reasoning skills to decide upon an answer.
To begin their work on volume, 6CC’s work in Maths last week started with cubes. After discussing the differences and similarities between a square and its 3D cousin, the cube, the children started to think about how the space inside might be measured and how would the units of measurement differ.
After studying formula for volume, children set predicting how make cubes would be needed in total to make a larger cube so many cubes high before making and confirming their predictions. Others used the formula and knowledge of cube numbers to determine the edge length of a cube with a given volume. A great way for children to explore volume and introduce them to the properties of this 3D shape!
