Week at a glance
What a busy week we’ve had. Here we are enjoying our electricity topic in science. We designed and tested circuits, making sure they had all the components to work.
In maths, we used play-doh to help us with division.
In literacy, we explored Scots language and completed a crossword in Scots.
Multiplication
We have been working on our multiplication strategies. We have made arrays and equal groups.
Addition Building
Check out our addition! We built structures using the Denes blocks and worked out how much they would cost to make.
Place Value
We have been exploring place value in Primary 4/5. Look at our chilli challenge loop cards
Estimating and Rounding
We’ve been practising estimating and rounding. Look at our high scores on Rocket Rounding and how close our estimates are to the exact answer.
Angles
This week we have been investigating angles. We’ve learned about the types of angles and how to measure them… those protractors are a bit fiddly, even the giant one on the board.
Repeated Addition
Today we used the Numicon to help us understand repeated addition. Look at all our examples…
Problem Solving with Pentominoes and Tangrams
Primary 7 tried out the tricky challenge of Pentominoes. They had to fit each smaller shape into a rectangle a certain way… they did a brilliant job!
And, as if that wasn’t a challenge enough, they then tried some Tangrams. Each shape has to go in a particular place to make a new picture. Take a look…
Daily Maths Starter: Handshakes
Here was today’s starter…
‘If all the pupils in this room shook hands with each other, how many handshakes would there be altogether?’
There was 10 people here today. Can you work out the answer?
We guessed then checked our answer by trying it out and shaking hands with each other.
The answer was 90. Did you get it correct?
