We have been using lots of different resources to practise place value.
We have:
- built place value castles and challenged to write the value of our castle in digits and words.
- used construction material to create structures with each colour being a different value. We then had to add 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and/or 100.
- used place value tubs to create numbers with peas and then write the number we created in digits and words.
- used number cards to write the number and then add on 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and/or 100.
After learning about the 4 layers of the rainforest the children in P3/4 used different construction materials to create their own rainforest layers.

To celebrate Maths Week Scotland 2022 p3/4 took park in an escape room style problem solving challenge. This jungle themed task was a lot of fun and we managed to escape on time.
Primary 3/4 used their notes to write a comparison about the weather in the rainforest compared to Scotland.
Primary 3/4 took their maths outside today to gather information and create a table with items found outside. They are going to transfer this data to a bar chart.
