Numeracy

Maths Stations

In Maths we have been consolidating our learning. On Tuesday we rotated around different stations.

Station 1 – Roll the dice

Here we worked with a partner and rolled the dice to make different calculations using either add, subtract or multiply. We had calculators to check our answers were correct.

Station 2 – Number fans

Here we worked with Mrs Stephenson on our mental maths skills. She asked us questions on number sequences and different calculations.

Station 3 – Money, Money, Money

Here, we looked at the different prices of toys displayed on the SmartBoard. We had to find the correct coins to use to pay for items.

It has been a busy few weeks since we started P3.11. The children have been fantastic and settled in to the new routines well. We started back with some whole class maths work on 3D shape! We looked at the properties of a shape: sides, faces and vertices or corners. Pupils then created their own 3D shapes using coffee stirrers and blu-tak (Playdough was too squidgy).

This led us down the path of looking at pyramids, how many cubes do you need to build the pyramids… and so on! They are an inquisitive bunch which is wonderful!
