Today during our maths, Year 1 have been learning to use the greater than and less than symbols. We enjoyed a practical maths lesson to begin to understand how to use these symbols. We then had a practice of writing the symbols with numbers on our pads! The children did Read more
During our Maths lesson, we took part in a competition to see which group could answer the questions the quickest. We were practicing adding and taking 1000 from a given number. The children had to match the question to the correct answer by run in as fast as they could Read more
In this lesson, children estimated and measured a range of objects, using metres as a unit of measurement. They measured things outside in the playground and around their classrooms. They then went into the hall and measured from one side to the other.
Year 1, have been learning about ‘teen’ numbers. To help us understand, we have been using tens frames to learn about ‘tens’ and ‘ones’. The children worked really hard during their practical lesson and have shown great understanding.
Wow, what a great maths lesson today!!! The children used their prior knowledge of times and division tables to work out fractions of amounts. There was some fantastic mental maths happening and application of prior learning to help them to master the skill of calculating fractions of amounts. Well done Read more
This morning Pine have been applying their knowledge from our previous unit on fractions to help them multiply non unit fractions by an integer. We worked using unit fraction cards to see what was happening when we had multiple non unit fractions. The children were able to calculate answers, then Read more
For a Christmas maths activity – we created snowmen using a number of different rules. Working in pairs we had a race to create a maths snowman! A great way to practice our square numbers relating to our numbersense work and recapping some of our other multiplication facts!
Year 1 have been learning about ‘part- whole models’ and how we can use them to help us think about fact families. We have used lots of manipulatives such as 5-wise, base 10 and cubes to show different fact families. This week, we have been using our knowledge of number Read more
Since the start of this year, everyday we have completed our Number Sense work to work on our rapid mental recall of certain multiplication facts. So far this year we have worked on our doubles, two times table and square numbers. We always recite these as a class and recall Read more
Year 2 have been exploring properties of shapes. In this lesson, children explored reflective symmetry. They learnt to identify shapes and images that had reflective symmetry and identified where the line of symmetry lies. They used mirrors to help them with their work.
