Cross Ash Mathematics and Numeracy

This morning we timed how long it took to run the length of the yard. We ordered and investigated the results, exploring patterns and trends. We discussed the importance of warming up correctly and setting targets. @CrossAshHCI @CrossAshHW @CrossAshMaths

This week we have been multiplying by 3 and deriving division facts from known multiplication facts.

@CrossAshY5 had to carefully consider whether our faces really are symmetrical when creating the other half of their self portraits this week. Excellent observational skills! @CrossAshPrimary @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshArts #AmbitiousCapableLearners @CrossAshACL @EAS_Numeracy

@CrossAshY4 enjoyed exploring and discussing the properties of shapes using pin boards and elastic bands. We also liked being able to share our learning on @Seesaw today! @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL #maths #shape

We have been busy exploring perimeter in our maths lessons and this week we have estimated and measured the perimeter of our hands and of different shapes of leaves outside too! @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL #Outdoorlearning #Maths

Outdoor learning, cloud gazing and the odd snow shower in Blwyddyn 6 this week 😊❄️🌨 #outdoorlearning #healthandwellbeing @CrossAshHW @CrossAshMaths @EAS_Numeracy @NatResWales

We enjoyed celebrating #WorldMathsDay earlier this week! We were busy completing maths all day long, earning double points on @mathletics3pl and we even completed maths challenges during PE in the sunshine! @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL

We celebrated our own #Fairtrade Week by investigating the cost and availability of Fairtrade items in the supermarkets, and collecting stickers from our snacks to display in the classroom. #EthicalInformedCitizens @CrossAshEIC @CrossAshMaths @KWT_East

Real life reasoning using images of the Welsh Six Nations squad to consolidate data handling and finding averages. #ambitiouscapablelearners @CrossAshACL @EAS_Numeracy #Numeracy @CrossAshMaths

This week we have been using sticks to estimate the height of the trees in our Forest School. @CrossAshEIC @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL

Can you believe it’s December tomorrow!?! We all enjoyed using Christmas gift guides to plan Christmas gifts for family and friends ... but we found working within a budget a little tricky! @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL #Christmas #Maths

A super start to our Monday morning with a fun @nrichmaths game to practise rounding numbers! @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL #maths #rounding #mathsisfun #ambitiouscapablelearners

A busy first day back investigating shadows in science and using lots of our measuring and maths skills too! @CrossAshSTEM @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL #STEM

@CrossAshRec enjoyed using natural materials to create 2D shapes. #Numeracy @CrossAshMaths

Some superb problem solving this morning in class. We discussed how to use a strategy to organise our work and present our findings. Da iawn Blwyddyn 4 - you are mathematical super stars! @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL #problemsolving

This week we have been combining our PE and Numeracy skills by measuring how far we could jump or throw a bean bag, ordering the results and exploring the mode, median and range of a set of data. @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL #Numeracy #AmbitiousCapableLearners #outdoorlearning

Today we took part in the luggage game from ‘In For A Penny’ as part of our day celebrating France. At security we weighed our bags and attempted to make it reach the desired weight - what a great game! Tres bien to the winning team! @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL @StephenMulhern

This week we have been finding and tallying shapes in the outdoors.  @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshHCI #outdoorlearning

As part of our Olympic themed topic, we have been comparing and ordering the times of 100m winners. We decided that the times have become quicker due to advances in training, nutrition and clothing technology. #AmbitiousCapableLearners @CrossAshACL @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshHum

Following our litter pick around Key Stage 2, we have been creating bar graphs to represent our data in maths. @CrossAshMaths @CrossAshACL #maths #nolittertwitter @KWT_East
