We had lots of fun showing this by using lots of objects from our classroom!

We estimated and then used our measuring jugs to see how much water each container could hold. Our estimates got better as we went along!

We also looked at how much containers hold , estimating and measuring.

Whilst making these we were talking about the shapes we chose to use.

It was good fun and we did lots of learning too!

We had to add the numbers and then locate the answer around the playground. There was some great maths work going on!

We have created a display to help us remember what a factor is.

Before looking at formal written methods of addition and subtraction next week, we reminded ourselves of mental strategies and jottings we can use to help us solve problems. We worked in pairs to have a go at some examples.

We played a game in pairs to see who could make the largest number from their arrow cards. It was great fun!

We had to make 10 groups of 10 to make it very clear and easy to count. We were very creative in how we presented our 100. - ![Healthy Schools](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/partners/healthyschoolslogo(3)_(1).jpeg) - ![Ofsted](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/partners/Ofsted_Good_GP_Colour(1).jpeg) - ![Vines](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/partners/Outlook-gg5hcrqw_(2)_(1).png) - ![QM](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/partners/Quality_Mark_5_March_2015(2)_(1).jpeg) - ![Blackbrun Diocese](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/partners/Blackburn_Diocese_(1)_(1).jpeg) - ![School Gold Award](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/partners/SG-L1-3-gold-2022-23(4).jpeg) ##### Location Scotforth Rd Lancaster LA1 4SE ##### Contact Us 01524 65379 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Scotforth.St.Pauls) - [Office staff (Mrs Malin and Mrs Pearce)](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/contact) © Copyright 2017–2026 Scotforth St Paul's C of E Primary & Nursery School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
