Multiplication Facts

Multiplication facts - 3's, 6's and 9's

 

During our maths lessons this week, Year 4 have been explictly learning about the 3 times table, the 6 times table and the 9 timestable. We have looked at different strategies when working out our answers. This can involve different timestables that we are more confident with such as using the 3's to help work out the 6's and the 10's to help work out your 9's. 

Today, we used those strategies to play multiplication board games. The board games only had the 3, 6 and 9 timestables on them in order to help the children practice.

DT Moving pictures: Humpty Dumpty

Date: 2nd Nov 2021 @ 9:53am

In Autumn term 1, Y1 learned how to make two different mechanisms - levers and sliders. They applied this learning to designing and making their own moving picture book using the beginning, middle and end of the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. 

The children were very skilled in their marking and cutting skills to make the slits for their mechanisms and could talk about why they had used each one.

To test out their design criteria, Y1 shared their books with some of the children in Early Years - they really enjoyed them!
