Division

Uncategorized, ,

To help us understand division strategies a bit better we used sweets and used the Sharing and Grouping strategies.

Darcie – We learned how to group and share

Mia – We were able to share equally between our group

Holli – We helped each other when sharing and grouping the sweets

Naima – We learned how to divide by using sweets instead of numbers

Rachel – My group did lots of sums together

Fractions

We have been learning about Fractions this week.  Today we concentrated on halves and quarters.  Here we are creating accurate patterns using fractions of colour.

 

A fraction is a part of a number less than one and bigger than zero.  Emma Louise

I have learned a lot about Fractions this week.  Faith

Making Fractions Flags also linked to symmetry.  Hannah

Fractions link with division.  Declan

It was fun learning about Fractions today.  Ebony

The top number in a fraction is called a Numerator and the bottom number is called a Denominator.  Leona

Fraction Flags was easy!  Ellie

To find a fraction of a number you divide by the number on the bottom.  Playing Fraction Flags was fun.  Aidyn 

Mrs Wightman challenged us to show her we are Math Magicians by answering as many division questions as we could in one minute.

Yesterday the winner was Callum W and today it was Kayleigh!  Well done to you both!

Our runners up were Aiden S (by only one second!!!!), Kyran, Sarah and Hannah. 

We all tried really hard and proved how much we have learned to do with our times tables.  Mrs Wightman is very proud!

It was fun doing the maths challenges but quite hard too.  Hannah

I got beaten by one second and was really annoyed!  Aiden

I’m really proud of myself that I came first!  Kayleigh

I was the first to do the challenge and I was proud that I managed a harder one.  Declan

It was really fun but I was annoyed I only answered ten questions right.  Kai

I was beaten by Aiden with one point.  Kyran

I was second at first then was knocked off by Aiden.  Emma Louise

I challenged myself by doing the nine times table.  Emma

I didn’t think I would beat Aiden but then I did by one second.  Callum W

I did the five times table and although I know it I still found it hard.  Tegan
