We have been trying to add and subtract different numbers.We have been doing okay but Mrs Nugent decided that we would be do better if we were a bit more practical in our approach. So we have been looking at problems and finding all possibilities. We looked at a problem called Bean-bag Buckets. Mrs Nugent had four pots and 3 balls, we had to throw the balls into the pots to see how many combinations of numbers we could make. It was lots of fun throwing the balls and most of them went into the pots!! Then we recorded our findings into our books or onto whiteboards. It was much easier when we 'acted out' what we were doing (throwing the balls). What do you think of our work?

In Y5/6 AT maths, we have been carrying out maths investigations that are related to our school.

Before half term Miss Taylor asked us to think of a question that we could investigate and that could help to make our school even better.

Here are some of the examples of the Healthy Eating Boardgames created by Y5GR last year.

Iona and Bethany M. with their game.

In July Y5GR held their Boardgame Competition Final.

We have been making cubes using origami (paper folding). Each cube is made of 6 pieces of paper and held together without glue.

We made the silver cubes at school and the others at home.

Year 5 have been solving mathematics problems based on Newcastle United. We worked together as a team, and for each successful problem solved we had a chance to score goals!

Look at some of our work below.
