P7 Rounding

1 Comment

We are learning to round a wide range of numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. MNU 2-01a

I can round to the nearest 10,100 and 1000 by looking at the digits and can explain the rule I have used.

I can explain the importance of looking at particular digits in a number when I am deciding how to round.

I can give examples of numbers which are rounded to a multiple of 10, 100, 1000.

This week in Maths we have been using our knowledge of place value to round numbers. We created posters to help us remember the rules of rounding. We have been completing text book activities, a Sum Dog challenge and have used some of our new resources to apply our knowledge of rounding.

Today our house and vice-captains had their first task to complete in their new leadership roles. The house captains presented to guests at our Validated Self Evaluation (VSE) Scoping Meeting about the changes that have occurred in our school and the positive impact the changes had had on them. The vice captains showed our guests around the school. A big thank you to the house captain team who represented our school in a positive and engaging way.

Place Value

1 Comment

We are learning to explain the link between a digit, its place and its value. MNU 2-02a

We are learning to extend the range of whole numbers we can work with. MNU 2-02a

  • I can talk about the digits which make up a number and can work out what each digit represents (i.e. partitioning).
  • I can use an empty number line to show the position of numbers in relation to each other.
  • I can compare and order numbers (by looking at the most significant digits).

This week we have been exploring place value in 6 digit numbers and beyond. We can understand numbers using digits, words, pictures and the expanded form. We have completed written activities were we had to describe, order and explain numbers. Also we started our Sum Dog place value competition.
