We sorted the 3D shapes into colours and shapes.

“We’ve made a tower bigger than us using 3D shapes!” 
They named which shapes were good to build towers with. 

This week we have been looking at 3D shapes and their properties. 

In Year 4, we are working hard to learn our times tables. Using our knowledge of the tables we have learnt, we have been making our own Factor Bugs. 

We have been using Base 10 and place value counters to help us multiply 2 digit numbers. Using this apparatus meant we could see when exchanges needed to be made. 

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.
