What a fantastic day of learning and fun! The Year 1/2 children took part in a wide range of exciting, hands-on maths activities, exploring numbers through games, problem-solving and teamwork.
There were lots of smiles, brilliant thinking and wonderful enthusiasm as the children worked together to complete challenges and show off their growing confidence with numbers. A great day celebrating that maths can be fun, engaging and for everyone!
Class 3 took our maths lesson outdoors! We made the most of the Autumn weather and completed some part-whole models using conkers.
Class 4 have been working hard at their Power Maths lessons; developing their skills of working independently. Well done Class 4!
Class 3 have been making equal groups as part of our division unit in Mathematics. Some great independent number work from our young children!
In Class 3, we had the challenge of finding all possible combinations of robots, using different heads, bodies and legs. the body parts included length measurements which we have recently covered in maths. We had to make the tallest and shortest robots. We than had to calculate the overall length of the robots.
The children worked systematically and shared their methods with the rest of the class!
Class 4 were challenged to solve a word problem comparing two numbers up to 50 today.
The challenge was to find which of the children had swam the most laps. They used base ten to represent the number of laps, splitting the tens and ones. They discussed with their partners if they should compare the tens or ones numbers. The children also used a number line as another way to compare numbers.
The sheer joy when you solve a maths puzzle! ❤️
Class 4 had the “best fun” (so they told me) in maths today! The BIG triangle puzzle was such a fun way to practise rapid recall of number bonds for 10 and to develop team work and resilience.
Class 3 have been using base ten resources in Maths to help us solve problems with an answer bigger than ten. Some super mathematics!
The children in Class 4 continue to astound with their learning with Power Maths.
Children at West Boldon Primary have been dressing up for digits this week to raise money for the NSPCC. Here’s what each year group have been getting up to…
As part of Digit Day, Year 1 took part in a variety of Maths activities. These included using the Hit the Button game online and also playing our new favourite game, ‘Get out of my house!’, which helped us to practise addition and quick recall of number bonds.
Children in Year 2 were having to really think about partitioning numbers to work out how to win the game! Amazing competition!
Year 3 celebrated number day with a problem solving treasure hunt task. They had to find the pieces of a key which were hidden around the room, the location of each key was only revealed when children solved a maths problem. They had to work in teams to assemble the key.
Then, they took part in some solvemoji problems, before writing some of their own for their friends to solve. Some of them were really tricky!
It was great to see the children dressed up today. There was sports shirts, dance tops, year tops, some awesome home made ones and some very clever uses of numbers from movies etc.
With it being digit day we had to get involved with some awesome maths activity. Year 4 took part in a special NSPCC Times Table Rockstars competition (which was available only today on digit day).
We also took on some really difficult solve emoji puzzles. The children worked in pairs and it took some real brain power. They needed to use their logical thinking, their problem solving ability and skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!!!
Some of them even had a trick element in! Every pair worked so hard and as a class we competed nearly 70 puzzles!
Year 6 spent the morning solving maths riddles, decoding and following directions on a compass. We have also solved codes, played countdown and challenged each other in a dice game. We’ve used problem solving and reasoning skills. Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.
