Today in class we were measuring using tenths of a metre. We recorded our answers as fractions and also decimal fractions. Our measuring skills linked nicely to our work last week when we were learning all about decimal fractions.
On Friday morning we used our problem solving skills to create patterns with one and two lines of symmetry using cuisenaire rods.
For our outdoor learning this week we were set the task of building mini dens for a little character that we had. We worked in pairs and used the resources available to us in our school orchard. It was great fun being creative and using our problem solving skills.
This week in the school, we are launching Times Tables Rockstars. Times tables as well as addition, subtraction and division facts are the building blocks for many more complicated calculations. Times Tables Rock Stars is a scheme, supported by web and mobile apps, which promotes the learning of times table facts in a fun and challenging way. The goal is to be able to answer any multiplication fact up to 12×12 in less than 3 seconds and this will achieve Rock Star status. Good luck everyone and rock on!
This week we have been focussing on multiplying whole numbers and on Friday we were learning all about products of numbers. We used cuisennaire rods to help us understand the concept and to work out the pairs of numbers.
