p4/5 Problem Solving
Today primary 4/5 were completing some tricky problem solving tasks. The squares group had to use rulers to create 7 squares and the circles group had to set out 18 counters so that each row and column had an even number of counters in it.
The children worked in pairs to complete these tasks and had to have a growth mind-set and show determination in order to succeed!
P4/5 Maths
The circles have been working on fractions, decimals and percentages recently and enjoyed using the Numicon today to make links between these. The children worked in pairs to cover different fractions and percentages of their base-boards in different colours.
The squares have been learning about dividing recently and have been using concrete and visual methods to help deepen their understanding.
