Maths!

Each morning when Mrs N is teaching us, we love to look at our blog and check out how many hits we've had and to read our comments. We use calculators to work out exactly how many times our blog has been looked at since we were last at school.

Meg, Raquel and Catherine ready to calculate!

First, we check the hit counter and read it out loud. It's tricky to read such a big number, but we're learning fast! Mrs N then writes the number of hits we have and the number we had the last day we checked, as a subtraction problem. We use our calculators to work out the difference. We take it in turns each day to copy sentences about it onto the whiteboard. Next, we write our hit total on a chart to help us learn about place value.

Kelsi wrote our sentences today.

In our Maths lesson today, we practised using number lines to help us add up. We did some practice sums using an online number line, which was really fun. We did it in pairs, with one person writing the sum on the whiteboard with a pen and the other person working out the answer on the Smartboard.

We got the hang of it very quickly, then went to our desks to do LOTS of other sums on our own. We used our rulers as number lines this time. They are always on our desks, so they are always handy when we need to work something out!

Caitlin and Catherine made videos to explain how they use number lines.
