Active Numeracy

Primary 4 have been working on their multiplication tables during their numeracy lessons.

We took part in a carousel to help us with our numeracy skills, we played fraction games and we did worksheets and match up the egg game we also played a speed wheel and numeracy Jenga with multiplication tables and division.

We play hit the button to help us learn our tables.

We also listen to times table songs.

This week we worked in pairs to complete stations in the room focusing on their multiplication tables.

Some of the activities included:

hit the button

carousel

multiplication and division

times table songs

Written by : Matthew, Anna McK, , Reid and Jaime.

P4.2, what an interesting way to remember and practise your multiplication tables. This is a really important skill that you will find useful throughout your learning and in the work place. Well done!

Exploring Tiling

We were given a variety of different 2D shapes.

In groups we were exploring whether these shapes would tile (fit together) or not!

I can use resources to help me explore.

I can select 2D shapes that tile.

Matthew: ” circles do not tile- there is a gap”

Eloise: “triangles, squares, rectangles and hexagons all tile!”

Zak: ” I have tiles in my kitchen”

Fraction Fun!

Today the Pyramids have been learning about Fractions in Numeracy!
We learnt that a fraction is sharing a single item equally.

We became Jewellery Designers!
Our necklaces had 20 beads 1/4 red, 1/4 blue, 1/4 yellow and 1/4 green.
