Mathematics & Numeracy

Pattern

Using blocks to learn about repeating patterns

We also used our little bers

This is a very interesting repeating pattern

This one uses 3 different colours

This Kingfisher is very proud of his work

A repeating pattern using pictures of picnic food

3D Shape

To help us learn about 3D shape we built models

We tried to name the shapes

We also counted the different shapes

We used cubes and cuboids

"I used 11 cubes and 1 cuboid"

It really helped us to learn about 3D shapes

Symmetry

This was our first work on ‘symmetry’ in Reception

We made symmetrical pictures with the Numicon

Lego is a fab way to make symmetrical pictures too

The blocks were carefully placed on the baseboard

We even made 3D pictures

The middle line is called the ‘line of symmery’

The colours on each side were the same

It really made us think carefully

Sorting Into Groups

This activity helped us to learn about ‘sorting’

We had to sort the objects into 2 groups...

...whether we thought they would float or sink

Later we check our predictions in the water trough

Weighing

We have been learning how to use balancing scales

They can be used to compare the weight of objects

Working with a partner is great fun

We helped each other to complete the task

It was great to experiment with the scales

Great mathematicians at work

“The heavier side goes down”

“We found the heaviest object”

Money

We have been making money totals with coins

We had to count them to make different amounts

Outdoor Number Formation

We went outside to practise writing our numbers

There were great places to write on

We wrote in some very awkward places

The clock face went from 1 to 12

We also wrote on the snakes and ladders board

Our number formation is getting better every day

Learning About Addition

We have been learning to add numbers together

We used objects to help us

We placed objects to match the numbers

Then we put them together and counted them

We were very proud of our work

Writing our answers

“I did it”

We pointed to each object as we counted

We played an outdoor game where we had to add up

Using ICT To Support Our Learning

The RM Maths program is used every day

It helps to keep our maths skills sharp

We login to the program by ourselves

There are games to play and questions to answer

We play lots of maths games on our iPads

Ordering Numbers

We have been reading ‘Jack & The Beanstalk’

We made our own number beanstalks

The numbers were carefully placed in our books

The numbers had to go up in the right order

It was great working alongside our friends

We were very proud of our work

Learning About Measure

We had to measure the giant's footprint!

We chose what we would use to measure it

We also measured our own footprint

Counting carefully and accurately

Making sure we touch each block as we count

Making sure the blocks are the same as the foot

Our counting skills are fantastic

Some of us took off our shoes to measure

It was a really fun activity

First Week In Our New Class

Using different shapes to make lovely pictures.

We can use geoboards to make different shapes.

I am very proud of my picture.

We showed off our accurate counting skills.

We practised the writing of the numbers 0-9.

Great number formation!

Sorting the teddy bears according to their colour.
