Curriculum Impact Tag: Maths

This week we have investigated patterns in class.  The children loved making their own simple patterns using our every day resources.  

This week’s menu:

Starter:  Leaf Soup

Main:  Autumn Omelette

Dessert: Spider crispy cakes

Turn-taking, playing, mixing, stirring, speaking, listening, measuring, counting, experimenting = LEARNING!

The children used counters and tens frames to make number bonds to ten.

Year 2 had great fun using their maths skills and working as a team on our Maths Adventure Day.

Today Year 5 were tasked with solving a range of mathematical problems in order to stop the Robotrons.

The children worked in small groups and applied a range of skills to find the codes needed.

Thank you to Subject Revolution for leading a brilliant afternoon and the Year 6 volunteers for…

The Dark Code! 

Year 6 were tasked with a challenge this morning - to crack the codes and defeat the Robotrons! We came to school today to find that we had been invaded and had to work quickly and efficiently to crack several codes and send the Robotrons back to their own dimension.

Year 1 Maths- More than, fewer than, the same

The children worked in pairs to roll the dice and count out the counters. They used the vocabulary more than, fewer than and the same. 

Numberlines: A very useful tool

Today in maths, Y6 looked at using numberlines to represent VERY large numbers. The children investigated how to find the mid-point of a numberlines along with deciding any intervals that may (or may not) be marked. 

“Numberlines help us to measure and…

This week we are looking at different colours and sorting colours into groups. At home we are talking about our favourite colours and drawing pictures to share with our friends. 

The children have been using concrete apparatus to help them find different combinations of tens and ones to make a given number.

The children worked in pairs to identify numbers up to 10,000 presented in a range of ways.

Lola explained, ‘I found this activity fun as it was similar to solving a puzzle.’
