Number



Times Table Groups. I have been in Ash's times table group but when he has been in the office it has been Dom. We have times table groups every Tuesday and at the start of my group we do our A-Z times tables. That's where we have 26 times tables to do and they are all different every week. Then we do challenges which are hard sums. Once we do that we correct them and go outside to play Maths Tiggi, and if we have time at the end we go on maths games on our netbooks. I really like it but the A-Z ones are annoying to do every week.

4 Operations Groups. We have these 4 operations groups where every week we do a different operation. I'm in Ash's group for all of them because I'm good at maths. We get a sheet of sums and we have to do most of them and then we do something different.

In term 1 we made a test cricket where you roll a dice and get runs. Then we had to put it on a picture graph. I'll show you, see!



Pizza Maths

For our pizza we had to draw a perfect circle with a radius and diameter. We drew them by putting points around in a circle in short distances to the next point. Then we sketched a line from one point to another in a slight arc. I challened myself and made mine a big pizza. We then had to add slices for how many people were having the pizza. It had to be exact so we used long division and our protracter to mark out the angles. Once we had done that, we had to put topping on our pizza so we drew upa table that showed 4 toppings and how many were on the pizza, and how many were on a single slice. We put on 4 different coloured counters to represent our toppings and how many we had. We wrote that down and made costs for each topping. We then drew another table to show the costs. We multiply the cost of one topping by the amount of topping to determine how much the topping costs. Do that for all 4 off them and add them up and write down the total. Then multiply the cost of the first topping by the amount on each slice. That's the cost of a slice add them up and write down the total. There is a lot more but I wouldn't finish it if I kept going so here is my pizza maths main page:
