What were we learning?

To tell the time using ‘quarter to’ and ‘quarter past’.

How would we know if we were successful?

• We would be able to show times on both analogue and digital clocks.
• We would link ‘quarter past’ to ’15 minutes past’.
• We would link ‘quarter to’ to ’45 minutes past’.

What did we do?

• We used clock fractions to see that a quarter of an hour was 15 minutes long and that three quarters of an hour was 45 minutes long.
• We used class clocks to show where the minute and hour hands should be placed.
• We wrote times using ‘minutes past’.
• We did a matching challenge with mixed times to see if we could recognise ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’ times.
• We completed challenges on Sumdog.

Miss McLaughlin will soon send home a record of what we have been learning. We can use this to work at home on something that we find tricky or as a checklist to show if we demonstrate our learning at home.

We are also beginning to use our knowledge of time and number to build up a timeline of important Victorian dates.

Until next time…
Primary 3 & Miss M 🙂

For Maths week Scotland P2C have been looking at money.
We have been identifying and describing different coins and then putting them in order from lowest value to highest.

We have also begun to add money and are working towards using money connected to our Circus topic.

LI: Large numbers

SC:

I can… say large numbers

I can…. name the places of place value up to 6 digits

I can…. sequence numbers

This week for maths week we have been playing a variety of games to help us work with large numbers. We played ‘Biggest Roller’ where we used the dice to roll 6 digit numbers. We also played ‘Sequencing Numbers’ where we had 5 4digit numbers and we had to order them from the smallest number to the largest number. We used the dice to play’ Roll and Stick’ where we rolled three digit numbers. Then we had to name the correct place value for each of the numbers, then we added the numbers so we could practice carrying correctly. We applied these skills in our topic when we sequenced large numbers on a timeline to life in a Burgh in the 16th Century.
