P3 have been busy learning about time over the last few weeks. They’ve made their own clocks and have been using them to help learn to tell the time. Super work P3!

Primary 6 Bar Modelling
For the last two weeks Primary 6 have been learning how to use the bar modelling strategy in maths. The main aim of a bar model is to be a pictorial representation of the underlying structure of a maths problem.
Bar modelling is an early introduction to algebra and hopefully as the children become more familiar with this strategy so will their confidence when tackling more complex maths problems.
Initially we are exploring how to use this strategy as a whole group in preparation for Barvember. Barvember has been created by White Rose Maths, where daily bar modelling problems are released throughout the month of November.
I have attached a copy of some of the problems we have been tackling in class. As you can see the problems become progressively harder. My aim is for the children to independently tackle problem 4, however this will take time as they familiarise themselves with this way of working.
