Reception - Maths - Numbers to 13
Look at our amazing Reception superstars working hard in maths! We’ve been learning all about the numbers 11, 12 and 13 using colourful counters and ten frames. The children loved exploring the numbers in fun and practical ways – so much concentration and teamwork going on! What a great way to build those early number skills!
Reception - Maths - Number Bonds to 5
Today, the Reception children explored number bonds to 5 using Numicon shapes. The children were engaged and curious as they selected different Numicon pieces to fit onto their number bond mats. They experimented with combinations, discovering pairs of numbers that add together to make 5. One child confidently placed a 3-piece and a 2-piece together and said, “3 and 2 make 5!” Another child tested several combinations, swapping pieces and checking their total by counting the holes. The children worked both independently and collaboratively, sharing their ideas and helping each other find matching pairs. This activity supported their understanding of part-whole relationships and encouraged mathematical thinking through hands-on learning. It also helped develop their fine motor skills and number recognition.
Exploring Repeating Patterns in Reception.
Our Reception children have been busy learning about repeating patterns in maths! Using colorful cubes, they explored different sequences and practiced identifying and continuing patterns. This hands-on activity not only develops mathematical thinking but also strengthens problem-solving skills and creativity. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm and engagement as they work together and learn through play. Keep up the great work, little mathematicians!
Year 3 Maths - Comparing Mass
In their Year 3 mathematics lessons, students have been exploring the concept of mass comparison. They utilized hands-on materials to determine if objects were heavier or lighter.
Year 6: Maths - Learning by Questions
As an extension task at the end of our maths lessons, year 6 have been working on their individualised targets to help with SATs revision. The questions are tailored to the students' specific areas of improvement. The class have been enjoying these challenges!
Reception - Maths - 2D and 3D Shapes
This week, the children have been busy exploring 2D and 3D shapes in a variety of fun and engaging ways. They have been identifying and naming different shapes, using them to build structures, and hunting for shapes in the environment around them. Through these activities, the children have been developing their mathematical thinking, strengthening their ability to recognize and describe shapes—key skills in the EYFS Mathematics framework. They have been using language to talk about the properties of shapes, such as the number of sides, corners, and faces, deepening their understanding of spatial awareness. It has been wonderful to see their curiosity and excitement as they discover how shapes are all around us!
Pre-School- Maths- Give Me 1,2,3
In Pre-School the children have been developing their understanding with number recognition (1, 2, 3) and counting, one-to-one correspondence. The children used the post box to post the teddy bears into the post box, counting along the way. We rolled the dice to see how many bears we needed to post. The activity introduced the numbers 1, 2, and 3, and more when needed and counting the number of bears clearly. When the children reached their number of bears they had been asked for they worked together to see if they needed more or less to add in the post box.
Year 1 Maths - Comparing Capacity
In Year 1, your child is learning about capacity – how much something can hold. This lesson focuses on comparing the capacity of different containers using terms like 'full,' 'empty,' 'more than,' 'less than,' and 'the same as.' We used hands-on activities to make learning fun and engaging, helping them develop practical skills and a solid understanding of measurement concepts. Get ready for some water play (and maybe a few spills!) as we explore the world of capacity.
Nursery - Maths - Positional Language
During our Maths activity this week, Nursery class have been exploring positional language. The children built on their understanding of on top and under, repeating the position as they placed bear in different areas around the basket. Some children were also able to further their learning and introduced 'next to' and 'in front' to their vocabulary, representing these positions with bear. Well done everyone!
Reception - Maths - Number bonds
To support their understanding of number bonds to 10, the children today participated in a Numicon-based activity in small groups. This session encouraged collaboration, with some children taking on the active role of "Numicon detectives" to physically explore and identify the number combinations that total ten. To consolidate their learning, one child from each group was responsible for writing down the different number bonds they found. This multi-faceted approach allowed for both hands-on exploration and the development of recording skills.
Year 1 - Maths - Measuring Using Centimeters
Year 1 used rulers to measure various objects around the classroom in centimeters. They were very careful to line up the object to 0 on the ruler and look at where the object ended to work out its length.
Year 2 Maths - Volume and Capacity - Measuring in Millilitres
Year 2 have had a great week in Maths learning more about volume and capacity and using the correct units of measurement.
