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!
