Maths in Year 4

By Maths, Year 4

Today, Year 4 were lucky to have a maths lesson with lots of teachers from DSAT.  We really thought about using different representations to help understand the structure of the maths we were doing. We used cubes to represent unit and non unit fractions.

Well done to all the children in Year 4 for their excellent behaviour.  The visitors were really impressed by your positive attitude to maths and your confident use of mathematical language.

Well done.  Remember – We are all Mathematicians!

Year 6 had great fun exploring the use of Cuisenaire Rods in maths.  They used these to investigate different equivalents and used them to understand bar modelling.

Year 5 Measuring Volume of Liquids

By Maths, Science, Year 5

Today in maths, Year 5 used a variety of scaled containers to measure how much water was in them. We had to think very carefully about the scale being used and the unit of measurement. This will help us when designing and carrying out our science experiments with solutions.

Year 6 have been investigating units of measure.  They started out looking at length and measuring objects in the classroom and then they used weighing scales to measure the mass.

Reading scales and converting measures is a very important skill to have.

Maths in FS2

In FS2, a key focus this week has been deepening the children’s understanding of 5 as a quantity by linking the number itself to the 5 fingers on one hand.  Our work has helped to underline the ‘fiveness’ of 5. Isn’t maths fun!
