In maths we have been learning about different types of numbers - ask anyone in Year 5 if you fancy hearing the famous Prime Number Rap!  Today it was... cube numbers.

We had lots of fun making the different cube numbers out of multilink. 1x1x1 was quite easy (needing only 1 multilink!)…

We had lots of fun collecting different objects we found around the school grounds. We then sorted them in lots of different ways. 

We have been thinking more about the numbers to 100.  Today we practised making different numbers using the Base 10 equipment.  Mrs Cross then asked us to add or take away different amounts of tens or ones.

We started using the greater than, less than and equals signs < = > to compare numbers. 

We chose numbers and compared the amounts using the vocabulary, “greater than, less than and equal to”. 

We have been ordering numbers to 20 and looking at the value of numbers.

We have been using number fans to help recognise numbers. 

We have been looking at numbers and seeing how we can make them with different resources to understand the value of numbers. 

We played a game where we scored points for each bean bag we managed to throw into a hoop. We used number tracks to help us work out who scored the most points.

We have started learning about coins and their value. We were looking at the similarities and differences between all the coins. 

We have had fun completing the ‘Pentominoes Challenge’. First, we had to make 12 shapes using 5 squares. When we had created the 12 shapes, we then put them on a grid with no gaps or overlapping shapes.

We used our construction to help us count and spot patterns when counting in 2s.
