Fractions

The children have been learning about reading, writing, making and recognising fractions. We have learnt that fractions are about dividing or sharing out objects or groups of things and even numbers too!

Super Silva

Our superstar student this week is Silva! Silva has put in a fantastic effort in maths, learning to count in groups of 3, and using this to solve her three times table questions. Top job Silva!

Maths with Miss Clarke

We have been learning about measuring in maths with Miss Clarke. We had to work cooperatively to make our identical twins from crepe paper and balloons. We measured from our neck to our hips, our arms and our legs with crepe paper. Then we measured parts of our bodies with things around the classroom. We had to remember to always measure from the start to the finish. It was quite exciting when the balloons started popping!

Yesterday, in maths we learnt about 3D shapes. We had to make a lot of tricky cubes, pyramids and prisms with playdough and toothpicks. It was a lot of fun but quite tricky to get the shapes to stand up! When we had made each shape we had to count the edges, and corners of each shape. Probably the trickiest shape to make was a pentagonal prism, which has 10 corners and 15 edges.
