Today we played musical chairs with a twist. Every time the music stopped we had to sit down on the chair in front of us and solve the multiplication problem. We loved showing some of our dance moves on a Friday morning!
Today we had a practical maths lesson to reinforce what we’ve been learning in our maths lessons over the last week. Around the classroom were question cards, each with a different multiplication question. We have to solve the calculation which then led us to the next question.
Today we took our Maths lesson outside! Around the playground were question cards e.g. 25×6. We had to then find the answer which then led us to another question. We had lots of fun!
This half term, Year 2 have explored a range of measurement topics. They have been ordering and measuring objects, investigating capacity, and learning how to read and use thermometers to measure temperature accurately in practical, hands-on activities.
