Lets think through Maths…Hungry Crocodiles

Yet another fun Lets think maths lesson today Year 4! This time we were exploring angles by looking at the jaws of hungry crocodiles and different scissors. We sorted the pictures by the angles they were showing. We worked really well in partners and small groups!

What a hungry crocodile!

Can you remember the 3 types of angle? Did you enjoy this lesson? Why? What did you discover today?

Excellent explanations texts.

In Year 6, we have been writing explanation texts about the heart and heart transplants. We looked at lots of different explanations before we started writing to see what makes an effective explanation.

What do you think makes a good explanation?

What advice would you give someone about to write an explanation text?

We will be posting some of our best work here shortly…stay posted!

Let’s Think Through Maths! Broken Rulers

Today in Maths we had to solve a problem…what happens when all the rulers are taken away and the ones you have been given are ‘horredous’ (as described by Billy :)) 

Year four had to work in pairs and groups to figure out how to measure different lines without a ruler or when the rulers they have been given are completely bonkers! Everyone came up with their own ways of figuring out how to measure such as using their finger nails or pen lids. Eventually we came up with a set of ‘ruler rules’ in order to make a ‘good’ ruler.  We then made our own rulers and use these rulers to test the theory that all the lines were in fact the same length all along…and they were!

 

Can you remember the rules we created? Post your answers in the comments!
