Today we created these fact flap books all about Queen Victoria.
We used tessellation skills to draw 7 hexagons and cut them out to look like a flower with attached petals.
We did a line drawing sketch of Queen Victoria in the centre of our flowers using a portrait found online.
We brainstormed facts we knew about Queen Victoria and shared information with each other!
Lots of skills development from across the curriculum on display here!
Primary 7 created these spoooooooky eyeballs! We put out skills with a compass to the test and used chalk pastels for blending!
they look so effective and very scary!!!!
today we investigated EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS! we used a packet of skittles and counted how many we had in total to find the denominator. Then we organised the skittles by colour to find the different numerators. We used multiplication skills to create equivalent fractions that have the same value as the original.
We then created a proper fraction using a domino. We used multiplication skills to create equivalent fractions for our domino!
To celebrate maths week, we laughed at some maths based jokes! Do you know any good maths jokes? Pop them in the comments below!
We have been learning about the Order of Operations when completing calculations in maths.
We split into teams to solve an “operating theatre” escape room task, solving the calculations in the correct sequence and to complete each surgery! Each of the calculations were chilli challenged so everyone could take part and contribute.
To assess our learning about rounding numbers up to 9 digits, we had to sequence the Twitter accounts from smallest numbers of followers to largest, then round the follower numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000.
Pupils were extremely successful with this task and most can confidently round numbers up to 9 digits and explain how they did it.
We have been learning about Number and Number processes this term.
So far we have investigated determining the value of a number using each digit’s place value, alongside multiplication practise and problems.
Today we completed some fun, hands on activities to embed our learning around place value.
We used brain flakes to create structures of different values. Each colour represented a different value and we had to count up what each structure was worth and add the digits to the place value chart.
We also used the base 10 materials to build “Place Value Palaces” and again, had to count up the total value of our structures. We got rather competitive with who could build the biggest value!
We also had lots of fun playing rounding shuffleboard! We had to choose a number from the noticeboard, then glide he puck across the floor to see if we had to round the number to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 or 10000.
