Straight into Maths!
We have just finished studying fractions (remember to practice what you have learnt by
playing the fraction games under maths fun!).
This week we are refreshing our place value knowledge before we start on
measurement next week. To warm up we played one of our favourite games called
Number hangman. It is just like normal hangman but you have to guess a 4 digit
number by asking questions like "Is there a even number in the hundreds column?"
Next we learnt a new activity called Number line flips using blank number lines and
pegs. We practiced what we had learnt by finding the missing numbers in a set of
number cards on an activity sheet.
