Parents Workshop Session

Thank you to all those parents that attended the Maths session on the written calculation strategies this morning. Lots of you expressed interest in finding out more about the strategies but could not attend the session so I will add the PowerPoint slides used in the session on our school website, so please look out for it.

Following your feedback and requests, a Maths targets booklet relevant to your child’s year group will be coming home with your child on Monday, outlining what children should be able to do for their specific year group. This will also be added onto our website. I hope you find this useful.

Should you have any concerns regarding helping your child with mathematics then please contact me.

There will be lots of interactive and practical problem solving throughout the day.

FunMaths session for Parents and Carers

In the first session, I will share with you, strategies we use at Glade to teach calculations, which you will find useful when helping your child with their calculations.

Counting to 12

A long long time ago children used to watch a programme called Sesame Street, which used to help children to read, write and count. Why not ask a grwon up if they remember this clip?

Reception Maths Trail

Reception went on a maths trail around the school. These are what we investigated...

What shapes can you see here?

How many letters can you count in the sign below?

How many circles/rectangles can you find in the picture below?

How many wooden posts can you count here?

Primary Maths - Shapes and Spaces (Video)

"Teachers at two schools in Hertfordshire use fun games to engage their primary pupils in maths lessons about shapes and space.
At Cuffley School, Years 2 and 3 explore the characteristics of different shapes using elastic. First they use elastic bands on their fingers. Then, with long pieces of elastic, they make large shapes in the classroom using their bodies.
Year 3 focus on turning 2D shapes in to 3D shapes. Using drinking straws and modelling dough, they have to construct 3D shapes from 2D diagrams, drawing on their geometrical knowledge. In the plenary the children play a game where they listen to the properties of a shape being described then guess which shape it is.
At The Wroxham School, Year 1 go on a Shape Hunt. Throughout their school they discover many geometric shapes. The children are enthused by finding mathematical shapes in the real world."

Maths Challenge Day

Friday 21st May is a Numeracy challenge day. The day will be filled with fun and practical challenging activities for all children.
