Today P3/4 applied their knowledge of fractions to help complete an outdoor activity.
First we consolidated how to find a fraction of a number using our multiplication and division skills.
Second we worked in teams to help solve chili challenge questions. Pupils could select the level of challenge of their choice.
This week P3/4 have been consolidating the knowledge and skills they have learned this year in numeracy.
We focused on:
Today P3/4 have been learning about angles and explore our knowledge of direction to rotate objects in 90, 180 and 360 degree angles.
Below the pupils worked in pairs to follow instructions and rotate a variety of shapes clockwise and anticlockwise at different amounts of degree angles.
Today P3/4 consolidated their learning of money and mental maths.
In teams the pupils had to find the scattered easter egg and solve the questions for the answer.
P3/4 are continuing to work with money up to £20 and use their knowledge of column calculations to add and subtract different monetary values.
Today we discussed the importance of having a budget and how to calculate the total cost of items and how to calculate the remaining value of change left over.
We linked our learning to the wider world of work by becoming shoppers ourselves. Each group were given a set budget which they could spend on items from a Lidl catalogue.
Pupils completed 3 important steps:
1. Pupils selected the items they wanted to buy
2. Next they added the total cost of the items
3. Lastly they subtracted the total cost of items from their total budget to calculate how much change was left.
P3/4 have been linking their knowledge of time to the wider world of work. We have been using different methods and devices including sand timers, stop watches and analogue timers to record time in minutes and seconds.
In class we participated in a series of interactive group activities where pupils would take turns to record how long it would take their partner to complete the activity. Pupils would then record their own individual times as data in a table format.
P3/4 have been reinforcing their knowledge of fractions and getting creative by identifying how we can use our knowledge of fractions to help us in every day life.
We learned some knew vocabulary to help us better understand fractions.
The denominator is the number on the bottom of the fraction and it tells us the number of equal parts we have in total (in one whole).
The numerator is the number on the top of the fraction and it represents the number of equal parts we have out of the whole.
Our challenge was to use different materials to make everyday objects like a pizza and then divide these items into different equal parts to represent different fractions. Pupils would then explain how they achieved this remembering to use the term denominator and numerator.
