P4/5 – 3D Shape Venn Diagram
We have been using Venn Diagram to sort 3D shapes by their properties. The class were then challenged to create their own criteria to sort the shapes by.
P4/5 – Tessellation
With our knowledge of 2D shape, we have been exploring tessellation.
We created our own tessellation patterns by hand and then used Shapes within Word to create tessellations too!
We used the shape tool, the fill tool and learnt the keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste.
P4/5 – 2D Shape
We have been investigating 2D shapes including more complex shapes such as rhombus, parallelogram, octagon. We created posters explaining the properties of these shapes including the number of sides and the number of vertices.
P4/5 – Numeracy – Number Talks
This week in Number Talks, we have been revising all the different addition strategies we have learnt. We selected a chilli challenge calculation and then completed the addition calculation using 4 different strategies – adding in chunks, vertical calculations, place value and compensation.
We had great discussion about which strategy we preferred. We also recognised that sometimes our favourite strategy might not always be the quickest or most efficient. Great work, P4/5!
