This week we have been looking at ‘Maths in Motion’.

We were using different objects from around the classroom to measure different parts of the classroom.

We measured the carpet with rulers. It took about 13 rulers to go across the carpet.

 

We used cubes to measure the carpet. It took around 200 cubes.

We measured using blocks.

We measured with the metre stick!

The chair was less than one metre.

We measured our friends with our feet.

We used our feet to measure the carpet.

We measured around the tuff tray with our feet.

When we were talking about maths in motion we discussed moving parts.

Clocks have cogs that turn and help us to tell the time. All the cogs have to work together.

In the MUGA we made our own clock, we were the cogs and we moved together. We had to use team work. 

We read a story called ‘How to Code a Sandcastle’ where we learnt that coding is just a set of instructions! We are looking forward to making our own codes next week.

We were looking at under the sea habitats and creating our own with boxes, playdough and sticks.
