Number line games

We had two fun number line games.

In our first game, we had to line up in the right order so our numbers made a number line.

Then teacher asked a child not on the number line to (for example) 

"Swap with the person holding the number BEFORE the number 8" or

"Swap with the person holding the number AFTER the number 3" or

"Swap with the person holding the number BETWEEN the numbers 5 and 7"

Our number line kept on changing people which was fun.

Our next game was a jumping guessing game.
One child started on the number line on the number that the teacher called out.
Then teacher told us how far that child would jump
(for example, start on 1 and take 3 jumps)
We all had to guess where that child would land.
Sometimes we got it right and were very pleased with ourselves.
Teacher had fun watching out to see do we make our numbers in the right way.

Maths week: Our Hallowe'en Data Chart

We got  to choose which of the Hallowe'en things we like best.

  We couldn't see what any one else had chosen because we kept our eyes closed as we waited for our turn.

 Next we added our choices to our data chart.

 Here are some picutres of us making the data chart and of the finished chart

We had fun comparing each of the lines of data.

Which item would you have chosen?

Number lines

 We do lots of number work in Maths. We make number lines and place ourselves in the right place. What number am 1? Who comes after me? Who come before me? What two numbers am I between? What number is more / less than me?

Patterns

We were discussing patterns in Maths today. We made our own patterns using blocks, beads, straws, links and counters. We made our own pattern and followed it and then showed it to everyone in the class.

Making sets

This week we were taking about sets in Maths. We had to work in our groups and decide what sets to make. We made dinosaur sets, animal sets, shape sets, food sets and straw sets. We worked really well in our groups and discussed our sets.
