Primary 4 have been looking at position by using grid references to locate places on a map of the local area. We then took our learning outside to create maps using keys to show the position of specific areas and items.
Primary 3/2: Maths Week Scotland
This week, Primary 3/2 were doing some investigation work in maths!
We looked at how to partition the number 10 in different ways.
We did this by:
- using drawing to make sets of 10 dots into smaller groups
- used knowledge of our number bonds to make pairs
- used cuisenaire rods to find out combinations of blocks that were equal to 10
- used ten frames to split/combine different groups
We came up with lots of different ideas, from number bonds (5 +5, 6 +4) to slightly more complex combinations (4 + 4 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1+ 1+ 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1). Miss McLaughlin saw lots of great teamwork!
Congratulations to our class, who placed in the top 2000 classes for the West Lothian Sumdog Competition. Well done to Callum for earning his Sumdog award too!
Check in with us next time to see what we have been learning!

Primary 1 Maths Week Scotland
This week we have been completing lots of different activities to further develop our numeracy skills. We have been practising counting, sequencing and recognising number patterns to 20. We have also been exploring addition by counting two groups of objects to find the total and practising adding one to a number. We have been looking at the symbols for add and equals and have begun using these in our written work.
P2/1 Maths Week Scotland
This week P2/1 have been busy in maths.
P1 have been counting different objects , then adding one and two more, and checking the new amount. Primary 2 have been developing their understanding of how numbers are constructed and have been making 2 digit numbers using different concrete materials, We have also been skip counting in 2’s and 10’s.
