Maths - Capacity

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all OK, there have been alot of illnesses going round!!

This week in numeracy we are learning about capacity - here is a link to some great games for your child to play to help re-enforce what we have been doing in class.

Have fun!

Maths Games

I've just found some really fun maths games. I've tried quite a few of them and I think they are great for practising rapid recall of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Choose the timed games for added fun - see how many your child can complete correctly in the time given.

Keep repeating and get your child to keep a note of how many they get right in the same time. Get them to give themselves a point every time they beat their score for each game. 






Enjoy!   

Fractions, mixed numbers and decimals.

Hi


I have shown a couple of PowerPoints to my Maths group to help them understand fractions, mixed numbers and how to convert fractions to decimals. These have been taken from the Primary Resources website which is excellent as a teaching tool. If you wish to log on to this site the address is: primaryresources.co.uk (this is not a link). Primary Resources has everything you need to educate a child from Early Years to Year 6, covering every subject - it really is worth a look.


This is the maths page relating to fractions and decimals:

Please have a look through the PowerPoints to see what your child has been learning, here are the titles of 2 we have seen:

• Numerators and Denominators  by Natasha Duffy (it has a yellow 4 next to it which relates to year group).
• Fractions (Paul Rigby)

Have a look - there are also lots of worksheets your child can use for consolidation and revision.

Thanks.
