Year 3 have had another busy but enjoyable week. In Numeracy the children learnt about fractions. They all had fun experiencing fractions in real life when looking at them as a 'set of objects', using Smarties as an example. Some children found they had 0/32 orange Smarties in their unlucky tube. However, some lucky children had 9/36 blue Smarties in their tube. Additionally, the class totalled fractions and some found that the total of red and brown smarties was 8/32 of their tube.
In Miss Vlasic's maths class on Wednesday, the children thoroughly enjoyed becoming Mastery Maths Detectives. They had a range of envelopes on their desks with different fraction challenges where the focus was on 'explaining why'.
Although the children said they loved all of the fraction lessons this week, their favourite part was clearly ... eating smarties!
