P4 have been enjoying playing mental maths games on the Digipuzzle website – Pacman is one of their favourites. Today I found a new Pacman game to play – Easter Words.
Have a look at the Sway to see some of my suggestions for some other games you could play. You’ll also find links to the website there.
I hope you have fun trying some of them. Let me know which ones you’ve tried by leaving a comment on the blog. 🙂
Hopeful for some spring sunshine and warmth we thought you might like to explore the challenges on Outdoor Learning Grid 1 to learn about worms, create a nest and investigate the rainbow spectrum of colours.
Capture your learning in your journal or sway and leave a COMMENT to let us know what you have been learning to do. Help everyone to feel connected and that we are learning together.
Mild challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson. Worms are superheroes in our gardens. Can you find out why?
Spicy challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Yucky Worms’ by Vivian French. You could turn the sound off and read the book independently by pausing the clip at the right time for you. List the facts you learn from the story in your journal or sway.
Hot challengers, older children might like to watch the Springwatch documentary about earthworms which includes information about their importance, varieties. predators, how they reproduce and how to investigate them. Creating a mindmap would help you to summarise the main points in your learning journal or sway.
Hello everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the story of Tangrams. If you haven’t already watched it you can follow the link of the grid.
Follow my sway to create your own Tangram set. You don’t need to print off a cut out sheet as you can easily fold an A4 page correctly and get all the shapes you need.
Have you managed to do any maths this week. Don’t forget all those practical tasks you are doing at home already use maths in them. We have finally found the time to bake in the Flockton house and we are playing Monopoly which is getting a little heated at times!!!
Some teachers may have some Sumdog activities for those of you that use it in class but feel free to try out other maths apps and websites as well as your practical activities such as weighing or measuring.
Here are a few suggestions –
‘Daily 10’, you can chose all sorts of areas of maths and change the challenge level (Free online)
Multiplication tables – ‘DK Multiplication’ is a hit in our house (Free app)
Carol Vorderman is providing maths tutorials online for those working at the Hot stage.
Most pupils should be familiar with ‘Topmarks’ games (Free online)
P3 love BBC Supermovers, this has songs to dance to and includes everything from Addition to Multiplication. It’s also a little easier than Joe Wicks!!!
We all have our favourite games but leave a comment to share your favourite maths related game (Virtual or not) We might all be reminded of some favourites.
