Year 4 have been flexibly partitioning decimals. We have been doing this in a very practical way using place value counters. We had to come up with 5 different ways to partition each decimal.

We enjoyed using rulers to measure in cms.

We have played a decimal decision game today. We used our knowledge of place value when using decimals to decide where to put our chosen digit to make the largest number, smallest number or have an odd/even number in the tenths/hundredths column. 

We went around the classroom and outside the classroom to measure objects using non standard units. We used cubes to measure !

This morning we did some cave art (see other blog), some spelling practice, some history (investigating the work of archaeologists) and even some practical maths measuring mass. And that was all before break time! Phew! Well done Year 3!

Today, we have been learning about tenths on a number line in maths. Rulers show this really well. We have used rulers to measure lines and write the lengths in decimals. Each millimetre is a tenth of a centimetre. We drew pictures with our rulers using lengths written in decimals.

In maths we have started to learn about fractions.  Today we played a dice game to see who could the largest fraction. We had lots of fun!

In maths we have been measuring using different units. We are now experts in metres, centimetres and millimetres! Here are some pictures of us practising measuring!

Today, Year 2 started learning about multiplication. We were seeing how we could make equal groups with 20 counters.

We enjoyed comparing numbers numbers to 20 with different resources today. 

Today we took part in the national bird count. We saw two pigeons and four crows!

We used our binoculars to look up 8th the trees.

This morning, we were sorting 2D shapes. We have sorted them using their properties - amount of sides, amount of vertices, colour.
