2D and 3D shapes
We have been exploring the properties of 2D and 3D shapes this week. We used string to help us find out how many vertices 2D shapes have. We also took part in a problem solving activity where we worked out how many 2D shapes we could make out of 12 lolly sticks. This...
Tens and ones teamwork!
What is area?
We've been learning about area this week and decided to use post-it notes to explore how we can measure the space taken up by a shape.
What is area?
4B have been learning about area this week. We discovered that area is the amount of space that is taken up by a 2D shape. To help understand this, the children explored building shapes using non-standard measures (sticky notes, maths books, square cards) to build...

Fractions Pizza Party
We have been learning about fractions in our Maths lessons, and what better way to do it than with pizza! In our pizza party lesson, we identified how shapes could be halved into 2 equal parts. We found that the square shaped pizza could be halved in more than one...
Net Monsters
Today we have been working with the nets of 3D shapes. We found it tricky at first- but these 'net monsters' really helped. We have been using our skills to create nets of our own and also using our reasoning skills to explain what mistakes we could spot in some of...
What are decimals?
After learning about fractions (particularly tenths and hundreds). 4B have been expressing fractions as decimals. We explored what 1/10 and 0.1, 1/100 and 0.01 look like using tens frames and number squares. Then we began to express numbers and fractions in their...
