Our school has been entered into the Renfrewshire Sumdog Contest which runs from 8am on Friday 25th November until 8pm on Thursday 1st December.
To take part, simply play Sumdog’s maths games. If you do not have your Sumdog Username and Password, please ask your teacher. Scores are based on accuracy, and questions tailored to your level – so everyone has a fair chance.
To make contests fair every pupil is limited to 1000 questions. However, it’s fun to take part even if students only answer a few questions.
The motivation is to climb the leader board and beat all other participating schools within Renfrewshire. You can also win rewards for your Sumdog account. Click here to find out more about the prizes.
Here are some things to keep in mind during the contest:
You can play at any time.
For the score to count, the Renfrewshire Maths Contest activity must be showing in the green panel on the left of the your screen when you click to start each game.
Your scores are based on correct answers.
A class’s score is the average of the scores from all students from that class who take part.
To appear on the leaderboard, at least 10 pupils from each class need to play.
As some pupils have limited computer access, every pupil is limited to 1000 contest questions. However, their free logins let them keep playing other activities afterwards.
I have been checking the Sumdog account to see who has been completing their Maths homework and the only two pupils who have played games at home are Gemma, Ryan O and Laura. Please remember it is your responsibility to maintain and improve your basic maths skills.
Well done to Gemma, Ryan O and Laura – 5 house points each!
Please read each question carefully so you understand fully what is being asked of you and the type of operation which should be used.

In maths we have been practicing our division skills. It is very important that we are able to use divsion calculations. In class we looked at the division trainer and saw how it can help you with the speed of your calculations.
If you have any spare time, or just want a little more practice, please access the link below. Please remember to set realistic times and make sure you choose a range of calculations- not just the easy ones! Challenge yourself with the areas you need to work on the most. This is not homework however practice does make perfect!
Yesterday we were looking at 3D shapes and their properties. We discussed where we could find 3D shapes in our daily lives and you came up with some excellent examples.
You were sent out and about in school armed with the iPads to find as many 3D shapes as you could. Once you did, you were to take a photograph of them to bring back to class. As we found out, there were lots and lots. Tell someone at home some of the 3D shapes you found. Can you remember their properties?
Using the photographs, and your knowledge of their properties, you were to show what you had learned using the Explain Everything app on the iPads. As we ran out of time, we will continue with this next week.
Here are a few photographs of some of you out and about the school.
In maths we have been practicing our multiplication skills. The times tables are used in many maths topics and it is very important that we learn them well. In class we looked at the multiplication trainer and saw how it can help you with the speed of your calculations.

Last week for homework you were to keep a diary of a typical day: what time you got up, when you left for school, our school day, what time you go to bed. All this was so you could compare your life to that of a child from Brazil.
Today we looked at the life of Valentina from Bela Vista. Using information shared on Glow, each of you had to look at the similarities and differences between your lives. You took lots and lots of notes about Valentina’s life and used this to complete a venn diagram. Thank you to Lewis, our Digital Leader, for showing everyone how to access the information.
On one side you shared your information about your life and on the other Valentina’s. How wonderful do the completed diagrams look on your wall space? Please show your work to someone at home. Tell them some of the information you learned about Brazilian life. Are there any similarities or differences?
You have been offered the chance to challenge another school to a Fai-To. If your students decide to proceed with the Fai-To challenge, they will face up to 9 rounds of head to head mathematics competition.
How Fai-To Works
When you next log in, you will be offered a choice of two different schools to challenge. You can also decide not to challenge anyone (boo!). If 6 pupils vote to challenge one of the schools, then the Fai-To is on, and the first school to win 5 rounds of the Fai-To is the Winner. The defending school will receive 1 advantage round for free. Each subsequent round lasts 24 hours, and you score points by winning medal points as usual. Fai-To does not affect the way that you use Mangahigh.
As the Challenger, if we win the Fai-To, we will capture the Defender’s current trophy for your cabinet. You can upgrade your trophies by winning more Fai-Tos. The honour of the school is at stake!

Today we continued with our Shape topic and learned all about the different types of triangles and their properties. To help with your understanding we played a sorting game where you had to look at the properties of different types of triangles and display them under the correct name. Can you remember how to spell (and pronounce) the names? They were rather tricky! Can you tell someone the name of the triangle above?
Next you all became detectives and had to solve a couple of crimes. You had to use your knowledge of the properties of each style of triangle and try to work out who the culprit was and send them to jail.
Before heading out for break, everyone had to complete an exit pass and tell me the names of all of the triangles and the properties of at least one of them. I did have a chuckle at some of the spelling! Guess what words we will be practicing next week.
This week we have been learning to add and subtract using 3-digits. This has meant we have had to “carry” and “borrow” which can be quite tricky. We have had lots of practice and even completed a few class quizzes where we got full marks. Well done!
Yesterday in our maths pairs, we used a 10-sided dice to create 3-digit numbers which we then added or subtracted with great results. Who would have thought you could have so much fun with maths?
