Today we took our numeracy outside. We had a race in teams to gather sticks, stones and pine cones, gave each item a value and then had to calculate what each individual collection was worth by writing a multiplication sentence. Working with a partner we then used dice to give us multiples and had to collect everything we needed to display the product in an array. In P4 we love to apply our skills in all sorts of different ways and what a great way to enjoy a beautiful sunny day and learn at the same time!

primary 4 – multiplication and division extravaganza!
We had an afternoon of fun practical numeracy activities. We created an amazing multiplication array village. We pretended the Kapla were hot sausage rolls and the bakers had to share them evenly between plates – knowing our tables was a real help with this. We then wrote fact family number sentences and took photos to evidence this for the Bakery Boss (Mrs O) We played some great times table games using playing cards, counters, egg boxes, plastic cups, counters and fingers! Ask us to show you/tell you at home what they were all about!
