Today we were exploring equivalent fractions in our numeracy and having fun playing games and using the Mathigon Polypad. Mathigon helps us to visualise the fractions and see pictures of equivalent fractions on bar modelling before moving on to the abstract process using our timestables.

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.
Over a week ago, we hosted an engaging adult learning session at the school which was designed to help parents support their children at home with their learning. The session focused on practical tips and strategies for making math a natural part of everyday life whilst boosting confidence and fostering a positive math mindset.
The session highlighted various ways which children’s learning in numeracy can be extended at home. Strategies which we saw and found useful were through playing/creating games such as Kerplunk, LEGO board games and more. This helped the children with their counting, number recognition and subitising, and the children had fun doing so! This was an engaging session which was very helpful for those that attended – scan the QR below to find out more information about these sessions! Thank you to everyone who attended and together, we can help make math a positive experience for the children.
