Addition Fact Families
Today in Year 1 Maths, we had a fun, practical lesson revisiting Addition Fact Families using paper plates! We learned that a Fact Family uses the same three numbers to create different number sentences.
The Fact Family
- We picked a set of three numbers (like 5, 2, and 7) and moved their…
Making 5 in Lots of Ways!
During Busy Bee time, our EYFS children explored patterns and shapes using colourful Multilink cubes. They looked carefully at pictures and worked hard to copy the designs, making sure each one used 5 cubes.
Once they had built their patterns, the children counted carefully to check there were…
Marvellous Maths Outside!
This week, Reception took their maths learning outside to explore the numbers 4 and 5. The children had so much fun finding, making and representing these numbers in different ways using the resources around them.
They worked brilliantly together to make groups of 4 and 5 using tyres,…
Snappy Maths in Year 1!
This week in Maths, Year 1 had lots of fun learning about greater than, less than, and equal to using some very hungry crocodiles!
We discovered that crocodiles always open their mouths towards the greater number because they’re greedy and want to eat the most! The children used number cards…
Magical Maths – Number Bonds to 10!
This week in Reception, we've been busy becoming number bond superstars!
We started the week by exploring "5 and a bit" using ten frames and colourful counters. The children loved working out how many more we needed to make 10, and they were fantastic at spotting how the number of empty spaces…
Double the Fun with Ladybirds
This week in our EYFS maths lessons, we explored the magic of doubles - and took our learning outdoors!
The children worked in pairs in our outdoor classroom to create their very own ladybirds with matching spots on each wing. Using natural materials and craft resources, they showed doubles up…
Fishy Friends and Fair Shares!
This week in EYFS, we explored sharing and grouping in our maths lessons.
The children had a very exciting challenge: they had to share out scales equally onto fish and find out how many groups they could make!
We talked about making sure each fish had the same number of scales and worked…
How Much Can It Hold? Exploring Capacity in EYFS
This week in maths, our EYFS children have been busy exploring capacity! They investigated how much different containers could hold by filling them with bears, dice, letters and cubes. The children made predictions about which containers had the greatest capacity and tested their ideas by…
Exploring Mass in EYFS: Heavy or Light?
This week in maths, our EYFS children have been busy investigating mass! The children explored objects around the classroom, estimating which were heavier or lighter. To test their ideas, they became human balance scales, holding an object in each hand to see which felt heavier. We then used real…
Marvellous maths.
In maths, we have been learning about mass. We have used scales to measure objects from around the classroom. Some year 2 children even became balancing scales themselves to see whose bag was the heaviest.
We also had a debate about which is heavier1kg of feathers or 1kg of bricks?
…
Superworm and Super Measuring
This week, our EYFS mathematicians wriggled into the world of measurement with Superworm! We started by comparing the characters in the story, using shorter and longer to describe their sizes.
Next, the children explored length by sorting objects around the classroom into shorter and longer…
Hop, Skip and Jump: Reception’s Human Number Line Adventure!
Today in maths, our Reception children became human number lines! We started by ordering the numbers 0-5, lining up like little champions. Then, we took it up a notch by using our number line to find number bonds up to 5. We had so much fun jumping along the number line, hopping from number to…
