Maths this term has been really interesting. We have done a lot of practical maths which has been so much fun! Every Monday we turn into detectives and use maths to solve murder mysteries. Some of us are going to be great policemen one day!
Last week we brought in board games.
When we were playing them we were actually doing maths. For example in the game of Monopoly we were using money, counting and probability. It was great to be so rich and to be able to buy so many houses and hotels. It wasn’t much fun being sent to prison though!
Another group played a game called Life . The aim of this game is to make a new life for yourself. In this game they used lots of different maths operations such as adding and dividing. Again this was another game which involved the use of money and probablity
We are also trying really hard to improve our times tables. Although we know them, we are trying to be faster with our responses. Every week we do mini competitions and its really exciting. We really are getting faster at them!
This term we have also looked at area and perimeter which will help us to grow up and be architects. Now we are looking at how to represent different statistics in tables and in different types of graphs. Miss Vicki was upset that we don’t eat pie charts!! On Friday we are going to collect our own information and put our findings into a graph of our choice.
We have learnt a lot of different maths and in a lot of fun ways!

Last Thursday in maths we played board games I really enjoyed workinging in teams and doing different things.
I played a game with Laura, Liliana and Silvia called “LIFE” we had lot of fun and worked on our mental maths at the same time.
I would like to do it again!!
Last Thursday we played some maths board games. I think that we all enjoyed playing the games. I played with Cerys, Adriana and Emma a game called “Party & co”. We had a great time and really had to think like maths magicians
