Fractions

We have been thinking about fractions in maths. We used multilink cubes to show halves and quarters. Then we labelled them with post-it notes  (some of us need to make some corrections to our spellings though...).

Maths week

Here are some of the things that Years 1 – 6 have been working on during the last two days of our Maths Week.

Maths and data handling - sorting

Elin and Zodin are adding the spots on the dominoes and then sorting according to whether the total is odd or even.

Emma and James are sorting the Year 2A pupils according to four different criteria: blue top/red top and initial A-L/M-Z.

Problem solving with shape

We worked in pairs to make seven 3D shapes using multi-link cubes. We had a photo to copy and we had to concentrate to make sure our shapes were exactly like those in the photo. Once we had made all the pieces correctly the challenge was to fit them together to make a cube. After lots of trial and error some of us managed it!
