Have a hunt around your house to see what 3d shapes you can find.

Create a tally chart that you could use to record your findings as you hunt for 3D shapes. Keep a tally of how many you find of each shape.

What was the most common 3D shape in your home?

Tell an adult 5 things about 3D shapes.

Other Ideas

Look outside and have a look to see what animals you can find and draw them.

It might be a butterfly, a bird, a squirrel, a dog.

The Ancient Egyptians: Draw the River Nile and write 4 facts about it.
Use Education City and Sumdog to complete the games set.

Good morning Primary 3,

I set a number task on sumdog yesterday and a shape task today. There is a spelling and reading task on education city too.

Feel free to also complete tasks at your own leisure after completing the tasks that have been set.

Thanks

Fruit Cocktails in P7D!

Today in maths Primary 7D were learning about volume and capacity. In pairs, we had to follow fruit cocktail recipes and measure the ingredients accurately in millilitres. We had a competition to create the tastiest fruit cocktail recipe and our joint winners were Emma and Priya & Lewis and Olivia. Well done!

Active Maths Fun in P1/2

Primary 1/2 have had lots of fun today using our new maths games. We have been matching objects, adding and fishing for numbers.

Magpie Moments in P7/6

This week we have been using ‘Magpie Moments’ during numeracy to support our learning!

We have been answering long multiplication questions on our whiteboards and using Magpie Moments to check our answers with other people.

The children must find someone else in the class with a different answer than them, to the same question. Each child takes it in turns to explain their thinking, reasoning and strategies and explain why they are correct.

We have had a lot of fun using this method of peer assessment and the children have learned a lot from each other by talking about their strategies together!
