Shapes

Year 3 have been exploring shapes. Using straws and play-doh children worked in pairs to produce skeletons of 3-D shapes.

Children also carried out mathematical investigations to develop their mathematical thinking and problem solving skills.  First they investigated the possible nets of a cube using square templates and recorded their findings on squared paper.

Making Money!

The children started the term with a mathematics challenge. Working in groups they had to make as much money as they coild from a page of newspaper adverts. By selecting and arranging the adverts in different ways they could alter the total made. All the children worked really well togther and used calculators to check their totals. This is the winning group who made £370.00. Not bad for half an hour's work!
