May Maths Challenge day

What a fantastic day we have had today. Pupils have truly enjoyed exploring and investigating practical maths both indoors and outdoors. Well done to all Glade staff for their enthusiasm and effort into planning fun activities for the children.

Fun Challenge Session

Thank you to all the parents and carers that attended the Fun Challenge session this morning. It was a great success and all the parents enjoyed it. I hope to run these sessions half-termly so if you missed this one, look out for the next.

Ordering numbers to 20

Wanted to share a great website that I used to teach my reception class ordering numbers to 20. The children really enjoyed using it.

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."
