Reception - Maths
This week we have been exploring numbers to 10. We looked at how to do this quickly using ‘5 and a bit’. We practised grouping 5 children together, so we knew not to keep counting them! We then counted on from 5 to make our total number. The children then used cubes and our part whole models to make different numbers. In continuous provision, the children also looked at writing numerals, counting objects and 1 more/1 less. They have worked so hard, well done!
Reception Maths- More and Fewer
In maths, the children have completed a maths sheet where they had to count and colour the groups of objects. They had to compare groups of objects using the words ‘more’ and ‘fewer.’

Year 5- Maths- Fractions
In maths, the children have been finding methods to identify equivalent fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers using a variety of representations, including fractions of shapes, number lines, and fraction walls as well as the abstract form, so that they understand the relationships.
Reception Maths- heavy and light
This week the children have been using the pan balance to explore heavy and light objects. They have been identifying what happens to the pan balance when a heavy object is put in one side and a light object is put in the other. They have also been looking at ways to make the pan balance balance by making both sides equal.
Year 2 - Money
This week in year 2 we have started our money unit in maths. We have been exploring the value of coins, collecting an amount and exploring many ways in which we can make a set amount of money; using different coins.
Year 1- Number bonds to 20
In maths we’ve progressed onto number bonds to 20. We worked in pairs to find different ways to make 20 with maths equipment.
Reception - Maths
We have been learning all about the number 6. We practised forming the number, showing 6 quickly in our ‘flashy fingers’ game and making 6 in all different ways using the part, part whole model. Well done Reception!
Year 2 - 3D shapes
In year 2 we have been exploring the various properties of 3D shapes; looking at vertices, faces, name and looking at similar objects in the real world.
Year 2 - Drawing and exploring properties of 2D shapes
In year 2 we have been exploring the properties of 2D shapes and learning how to draw them accurately using a geo board.
Year 1- 1 less
In maths this morning we were looking at numbers up to 20 and if we could find out what was 1 less. We worked really hard as a team on the carpet to support each other to find out 1 less before going off to work independently. I was very impressed!
Year 3 Multiplication
Today we have revisited multiplication as our new unit. We were looking at how many groups we had of different numbers and different ways of grouping the same amount. Year 3 did brilliantly, we talked about how working on their times tables will really help with their maths. We have also been doing extra maths challenges in the mornings to support their times table knowledge.
Reception - Maths
This week we have been looking at sequencing numbers to 5. We built our own number blocks and played the game ‘who’s hiding?’ where we had to guess the number block our friend had taken away. We used our Maths reasoning to decide which number block was missing.
