Number

This term we got put into groups of our standard of maths, I was in Miss Scanlon’s group. I really like having these groups because you get the whole process explained and if you don’t understand a bit of the process you can get help from Miss S and you know how to do it forever then.

At the start of term we had to put our name down on a sheet for times tables groups, I put my name on the middle sheet because I sort of know my times table but I don’t know them off by heart so that’s why I choose that group. Our group started off from 1s then each week we went higher and higher, we have finished all our times tables now, so we are starting again. I think I have improved on some of my timetables, but I still need work.

In term one we did an activity called ‘test cricket’. We used our big sketch books to rule up a chart, we had a buddy my buddy was Ella. The aim of the game was one person rolled the dice for the other person and the person not rolling the dice had to draw a plain line on their page and put the number there buddy rolled on the top and the total of all the numbers put together on the bottom. After we did that we had to get on paint.net to draw how many hits. I really enjoyed this.

At the end of term 1 we did this activity, we had to create a pizza and put topping on it. I was a bit confused at the start but I slowly got the hang of it. I think this has really helped me, because you had to use all the strategies you new and it made you think. Down below is my pizza page.
