Today in Maths, Year One were learning about doubling. We worked on lots of tips and tricks for working out doubles! We ended our lesson by playing dominoes and doubling the numbers on each end. We couldn’t use the dominoes and not create lines to knock over before breaktime.

Vortex data in Year 4

Year 4 combined Athletics and Maths on Monday afternoon. We practised throwing the vortex and then recorded our data before using the Numbers app on our iPads to put this information into a table and a chart. We’ll be using this to track our progress during the term.

Reception – Maths

In Reception we have been playing cards! In particular Go Fish! Go Fish and similar card games get us thinking about numbers, patterns of number, and subitising. We can also start thinking about how to win by remembering who asked for what number.
