Yesterday, Class 10 were practising their measuring skills and began to explore using rulers with different items around the class. This was to get used to the vocabulary and understand measurements fully.
We then finished our day off by finding the key features of a setting description ready to take some ideas for independent pieces of writing.
Here are some videos to support you with the methods we are teaching in school.
I have been notified by TTRS (Maths Circle) that many children are using out-of-date versions of the game which may not have the new functionalities.
It’s important that they use the latest versions of the app and and website to ensure they receive the most secure, feature-rich and enjoyable experience of Times Tables Rock Stars. Some of the versions are so far behind that they’re missing out on key updates.
Solution:
If using the website at home, please ask parents to visit play.ttrockstars.com/reset to load the latest version in their device’s browser. Otherwise please to update the Times Tables Rock Stars app from the app store.
Thanks,
Mr Mumby
What a super afternoon Class 10 had collaborating with each other on the tricky concept of inverse – doing the opposite to show if you are correct! It’s fair to say Class 10 got stuck right in and produced some great team work to ensure that all of us could understand this concept!
As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in England. The competition runs from 07:30 GMT Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 GMT Thursday 16th November 2023. It’s all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.
Children can play in any game mode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.
To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 GMT and 19:30 GMT on 07:30 GMT Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 GMT Thursday 16th November 2023. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.
Which Crew will be victorious? Who will rock their way to glory? Only time will tell…….
On our first day back after half term, Class 10 have worked together on column method and more specifically, Class 10 have been working on exchanging the extra 1. We had some of our expert coaches who were confident with this and made great teachers to the rest of the class! It was lovely to see such hard work and confidence from Class 10 in this ready to continue to work hard on in the future!
Nope, it’s not those type of weights! We’ve been getting to understand how different objects have a different mass. We used weighing scales to be able to see this and we used our vocabulary of lighter, heavier and mass to gain more confidence with this. Check out how we got on below!
We have had such fun this week in our maths sessions. We have been number hunting, practising our number bonds to 5 and making different shapes from squares.
Well done Reception Crew 😊
Class 11 are fully focused on understanding time. Yesterday, we learned how to compare time by working together. We used our knowledge of digital clocks and analogue clocks to help us get through the session with lots of confidence!
Class 11 have been working really hard on understanding equivalent fractions and to start us off, we practised shading in different fractions to see how they worked!
