Capacity in Maths

As part of our maths curriculum, we need to be able to read various scales on a range of equipment and we were looking a capacity in particular the other week. We were learning what unit of measure you measure capacity in (millilitres and litres) and how many millilitres there are in a litre (1000). We were then experimenting in the water with different containers looking at how much liquid they help and what happened when Miss Morris asked questions such as 'What if you add another 150ml' or 'What happens if you half the amount of liquid you have in your container?',

Here we are in action....

Mathematics - Sorting

Last week in maths we were pretending to be pirates finding treasure and then sorting them using various diagrams and criteria. We explored using both Venn and Carroll diagrams and the children had to come up with their own criteria for sorting!

This website gives you lots of game you can use to practise sorting - Click HERE

Maths- Fractions

Recently we have been beginning to develop our understanding of fractions of amounts and numbers. We started off looking at a whole and a half and then moved onto looking at quarters, fifths, sixths and eights. Here are some photos of us in class and below are some websites you can use at home!

Number Bond Maths

This week in year 2 we have been revisiting our number bonds in mathematics ready to start moving our learning on over the next few weeks. We are trying to build up speed with recall of our number facts to ten and then 20 and 100, so we know the answers without even having to think! Here we are using different resources like number lines, numicon and whiteboards to help us.

Here you can open the 100s square we were using to help us... Click HERE

Here is the virtual dice we were rolling in class, we rolled the 10 sided dice, then work out what you need to add to that number to equal 10...how fast can you do it?! Click HERE
