We worked with a random partner to look at the patterns between the 2 and 4 times tables. We worked out that if you multiplied the answers for the 2 you would get the answer for the 4. We then wondered if we could do this again and work out the 8 times table even though none of us know it yet. We then challenged ourselves to work out the 16 times table by multiplying our answers for the 8 by 2!!!
Next we looked at the patterns in the 3 and 6 times tables, then worked out the 12. Some of us even went on to look at the 24 times table!!!
We are learning about Roman villas and how they were decorated. We found out that rich Romans had mosaics on their floors and walls. We created our own mosaics using pictures or patterns.
