Today we worked together on a number problem called Dan the detective. We had several clues to help us find the number and all groups managed to find the answer very quickly. Through working in random groups and writing on vertical surfaces all children were engaged and working collaboratively.
Maths; Building, Thinking Classroom activities this week.
We are participating in the local Hobby Craft, Easter Bonnet competition. Some fabulous designs have been created and we can’t wait to hand them in to the shop for judging.
This morning P5-P7 were working in random groups playing a game of reasoned rounding. Lots of collaboration and Math Talk Moves strategies within each group.
This afternoon we joined the University of Edinburgh online to participate in the Internet project involving the sensors. We had a chance to read lots of data and then to investigate 4 different readings and where they might have come from! Lots of great discussion, thinking skills, creativity and collaboration. This was exciting and we are looking forward to the secret sensor challenge next!

Today we were re-visiting and practising creating a set of equal fractions. In order to identify equal fractions we used pictures and models, our timestables and the fraction wall. We enjoyed playing some fun fraction games too.
