  Yesterday, for maths we had to read a step by step procedure for making a 3D clock. It was very tricky. We had to measure in centimeters to make equilateral triangles, measure the angles with a protractor to check they were 60 degrees, make a clock face and arrows and tie it all together with string. I was glad when I finished. The clock hands were the hardest part. Here is a picture of my clock.

  This week we carried on with our ‘insect’ topic for reading I made honey biscuits, writing we did similes about insects, and for maths we practised basic facts and worked on writing a variety of equations which would have a certain number for the answer. We also practised solving problems using place value or known facts knowledge. Here is a selection of my work:

  Another thing we have been  learning in maths is how to solve word problems involving combinations of things. You had to be able to write addition equations showing as many different   combinations as we could.  Some people found it was useful to do your figuring out using a table. But not the kind of table you eat off-a mathematical table. Here is my work.

This week we have been learning about fractions. Here is what I know 

 Over the last 3 weeks we have been learning about statistics in maths. Here is an example.                              I know that a graph needs a title with it and it needs a x and y axis labelled. I know how to                                    write a statement about my graph. We learnt how to use a spreadsheet to make a chart using                                    our own data. 

 For maths we have been working on our basic facts. Everyday we do a maths grid of basic facts.

 We have been learning to solve addition and subtraction problems using place value. We had to complete these problems using this strategy. I feel good and happy that I can use this strategy.

We have been learning to tell the time in class. I have made a DLO to show how to tell the time.

For maths we have been learning our times tables. We have created a times tables maze. You have to use your times tables to get the chicken to her eggs.

For maths we have been solving problems. We have to use facts we know to help us. Here is one of my problems I have solved.

On Wednesday we used the story Robot Stop as inspiration for our Play, Make Create tasks. Here is my tasks I completed for it. My maths. We had to draw a robot using a ruler and then measure all the parts of the body and add it up.

This week we began our online learning. For maths we have been solving problems. We have had to use facts we know to help us. Here is one of my problems I have solved.
