As part of our Maths topic for this week the Puffins are learning about measuring using non standard measurements. They had great fun measuring the playground in steps and using cubes to measure equipment in the classroom.

After a fantastic Christmas the Puffins have returned to school eager to learn. We are focusing on shape in Maths this week. The children have worked fantastically with their partners learning to identify 3D and 2D shapes and their properties.

This week the Puffins have worked hard learning how to compare amounts.

The Puffins have been working very hard with their partners today in Maths. They have all been focusing on one to one correspondence first using counters and number and then practical objects.

This week in Maths, the Puffins have been focusing on recapping their place value of number within 50. They have found a variety of ways to represent a number.

This week the Puffins are showing a great understanding of place value within 50. Today they have been exploring different ways of making numbers.

This week in maths we have been concentrating on our 2D and 3D shapes also positional directions and ordinal numbers. We have had great for exploring how to group shapes and learning all the names and properties of both the 2D and 3D shapes. The children have especially enjoyed racing!

In maths this week the children have been looking at part whole models. Today they used a partitioning tree to split their whole number into 2 parts.

In maths today the children have been practising their counting using a number frame and counters.
