Great maths thinking this morning after our swimming session!

Partitioning numbers to 100

Using a dice we generated a two digit number and then showed this in tens and ones.

Partitioning

This week we have been demonstrating our knowledge of partitioning, using equipment to show how many tens and ones in a number.

Place Values

Today in class 6 we are looking at numbers up to 1,000,000. We are sorting the place values and retrieving previous skills for this task.

Exploring different ways to sort

STOPS Maths

Today in STOPS maths we recapped on our number bonds to help us solve addition equations that equal to 100.

Doubling and Even numbers

This week in Maths Reception have been exploring double numbers and the link between the numbers that are even. In this activity the children are sharing equally the items between them ensuring that they can see the doubles.

Hundred square challenge

The children worked in pairs to solve missing number problems on the Hundred Square. They explored how to find 10 more and 10 less and discussed patterns that emerge when finding different times tables.

Maths

We have been working hard to compare numbers with the same tens.

This week we became the SATs markers for the day and worked in pairs to mark some papers. We offered some friendly advice when we noticed that some questions had been answered incorrectly.

Halving bingo

The children enjoyed halving numbers using a variety of methods.

5 and a bit?

In Maths Reception have been learning all about 5 and a bit more, they have explored using a die frame to help see where the 5 is in the number sequence and where the bit it’s by subitising how many they have altogether. Reception used counters to show their partners what 5 and bit numbers they could make. Then they used different things from around the classroom to show their partner what 5 and a bit they could make then using a die frame to support their learning.
