5A Numeracy/ Outdoor Learning

Time/Angles/Fractions:

This morning 5A took their learning outdoors! Some of us were using our knowledge of time to complete a treasure hunt!

Ruari said: “We had to find the different questions around the playground and we had to answer the time question correctly and then crack the code!”

Alice said “I enjoyed trying to crack the code! There were some tricky questions but I still managed to find the correct code!”

Some of us were using what we have been learning about Angles and Direction and creating numbers and pictures with different materials and marking the angles with cubes!

Timothy said: “I liked the task to create a picture and mark the angles. We created a house and then a monster and used cubes to show acute, obtuse, right, straight and reflex angles.”

Some of us were using chalk and natural materials to show different fractions! Conor said: “I liked doing active fraction work. I drew shapes with chalk and then put natural materials inside different parts to show the fraction.”

Well Done 5A! 👍

P5d are going places!

P5 have been learning about angles and directions. Today we talked about directions and compass points.

We used beebots and probots, in groups, to come up with and follow directional instructions.

P5d – Angles all around us!

We have been learning how to identify and classify angles using the terms: acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex.

We have been investigating angles in the environment and classifying them using appropriate mathematical vocabulary.

Today, we took our learning outdoors and searched for angles in our school environment. We recorded our findings on worksheets and discussed the properties of the objects.

“We were looking for angles in the outdoor classroom. We found right angles, acute and obtuse angles. We did find some reflex angles in the tyre. We worked in pairs. We recorded what we had found on a worksheet on clipboards. We also discovered that there are angles in between our arms and legs.” Shay & Rocco

“We liked looking for angles outside because we didn’t know that there were so many angles all around us. It was more fun than doing indoor work. We found lots of right angles but not a lot of reflex angles.” Lucy McG & Mirin

Excellent Effort today P5d! Well done 🙂

Primary 4c have been exploring angles in their local environment. We went on an angle hunt to find as many angles as we could in the playground. We learned that a right angle is 90 degrees, an acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees and an obtuse angle is bigger than 90 degrees. We even used sticks to create our own angles. Look what we found.
