Almost every day, there's time for Mathematics.
If you visited during Maths, what might you notice?
At first, we might be working at the white board, remembering what we already know, tackling new problems, asking and answering lots of questions, perhaps playing a Maths game.
A little later, it might be time to work in groups, in pairs or individually.We might use equipment or materials, or simply take up paper and pencil.Towards the end of a lesson, we might share our work with others, or hand it up for correction.
From time to time, there is testing for diagnostic or assessment purposes.
The IXL Maths tasks may be discussed in class and set for homework when they often reinforce classroom learning.
Below are photos which show some of the varied activities and tasks completed at or around the Year 4 level.
Work is completed individually in exercise books, or recorded on sheets of paper when the children work collaboratively. There are also photos of some of the maths equipment we have been using including counters, pop sticks, MAB, dice, unifix cubes, rulers, compasses, protractors, measuring cylinders, calculators and play money.
