Maths is Fun!












J5 and J6 have been working hard in maths this week on the topic of place value.


They have carried out challenges on the digits of their phone numbers and have been using their thinking skills to work out the answers to place value problems. They have also been practising saying 5 and 6 digit numbers aloud e.g. 706014 and 20011 and writing numbers down correctly. They have been learning about the value of digits in 5 and 6 digit numbers.


The children have played warm up activities using cards and dice to improve their addition and multiplication skills.


Mr Llewellyn and myself have been really impressed with the mental maths we've seen this week too.

In the photographs, we can see the children playing an addition card game.
More place value next week.

  3. Hi Mrs Marlow

    The maths was challenging but fun. I liked the sharks and the dolphins. It was my favourite part.

    See you tomorrow.
