Today in maths we used our Maths Talk Moves vocabulary to solve another problem! There was super discussion, cooperation and collaboration from each group. We are developing our critical thinking skills every week as we work through our problems.

Outdoor learning highlights
Fraction birds
Maths week Scotland: Wild Maths
Today as part of Maths week Scotland, we worked outside as a team to collect natural materials such as leaves, pebbles, sticks and feathers. Back in the classroom we created designs such as repeated patterns and lines of symmetry using our own materials.
Pattern Hunt
Today as part of our maths lesson we went out to the school playground on a pattern hunt. We found different tree barks, arrangements of plants, games markings, paving stones, brick walls and windows to name a few! Lots of collaboration and creativity!

Rich Tasks
1~2 Nim
Today we played 1-2 nim which is fun, challenging and rewarding. We were practising basic counting and arithmetic. We started with a pile of counters and on our turn, we removed one or two counters from the pile. You must take at least one token on your turn, but you may not take more than two. Whoever takes the last token is the winner. Lots of collaboration and communication taking place here.
Introduction to money
Today we were very lucky to have a finance lesson from Claire at money advice Scotland, covering a brief discussion on the history of money and why we use it. Lots of super activities and discussion around coins and notes along with a focus on other types of common payments.
