Maths Week - Day 1

What a fun start to Maths week!

In Barton Class, we have been playing lots of games that use 'dot dice', both in and out of the classroom!  We also had a challenging question on numberlines - one of the animals was jumping 2 leaves at a time and the other was jumping 10 - which one would get to the end fastest?!

In Palmer Class, we were investigating number sentences and how the number sentences can be moved around - we learnt a posh new word called 'inverse'!  Some of us were using number triangles to show that all the numbers are linked!

In Moore Class, the children have been group teaching subtraction on a number line - some of us learnt how to do it first and we passed on our knowledge to another group of children.  We loved being teachers and we all understood it by the end of the lesson.

In Cameron Class, we have been creating our own games to teach to Barton and Palmer - we want to teach them new things and so are going to use games to make it fun for them!  Some of us are using money, while others of us are making counting games.

This week we are running a Mathletics Challenge - the three children that manage to get the most points over the course of the week will get a prize! There may also be a small prize for all children that manage to get a certificate this week!

Tomorrow, while Palmer and Barton Class are visiting Wisley Gardens, it will be Moore Class' turn to make games for the younger children.  Meanwhile, Cameron Class will be looking at the fun of fractions, decimals and percentages using cakes and pizza!
