This week we have been practising counting in 8s and have really enjoyed the 8x table song.

Today, we were set the challenge of creating different rectilinear shapes using 12 matchsticks. We had to make different shapes and then work out the perimeter of each shape.

We have been investigating arrays in our new maths topic of multiplication and division.  We wrote x facts to go with the arrays and some of us also showed the link between multiplication and repeated addition. We were very creative in choosing which objects we used to make our…
