Today we used the Base 10 to investigate partitioning numbers in different ways.

We have been learning to “count on”. 

Great team work!!!  Grouping objects to make counting easier.

More fabulous team work - grouping objects to make counting quicker.

Here we are grouping objects into sets to make counting them easier.  We grouped them into 2’s, 5’s, 10’s and some of us even tried 3’s.

Today we learnt it’s much quicker to count larger sets of objects in groups rather than one at a time.

Do you know what number this is?

We took advantage of the VERY hot weather today and decided to work with water! We weren’t just playing though - we were estimating and measuring the capacity of different containers. We even converted between litres and pints. Water work was definitely a hit!

Today was such a nice day, we decided to have a sunbathe...a maths sunbathe. We have learned about parallel and perpendicular lines this morning so we were using that knowledge whilst sunbathing!

Today, we have been discussing the properties of polygons, both regular and irregular.  We worked practically and made lots of different polygons using up to 10 matchsticks.

We were using vocab such as long, longer, tall, taller, longest and tallest today to compare lengths and heights of objects. We enjoyed exploring the classroom. 
 

We made different paths whilst counting in different multiples. We were counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We then jumped on the paths at different starting numbers.
