Hala took the maths learning bear to Tesco and did some maths by adding up decimals. Miss Judge was very impressed. Well done Hala.

From Grace and Melika.

Well done for the work and how neat it is and well done for making no mistakes. It looks like you made good progress.

Yara has been very busy with 4RK’s Maths teddy: Bob.

Yara did a range of Maths, including calculating money for a train ride and equally sharing out chicken nuggets!

Keep up the great Maths Yara.

Today we welcomed children to our ACE Maths Team:

We came up with these goals:

• Maths will be exciting and fun.
• Children will be enthusiastic and try their best.
• Great examples of Maths will be rewarded in each year group.
• Maths will continue out of the classroom (at home and in other real-life situations).

Here is what the team had to say:

“I’m Melika, my goal is to reward great Maths! I used to find Maths hard but I really enjoy it now.”

“I’m Singher, I enjoy Maths and I know I need to work hard so I can get a good job when I’m older. My goal is to persuade people to enjoy Maths so they have good jobs and a good future.”

“I’m Kevin and I used to hate Maths but now I love it! My goal is to spread my knowledge around children and different families.”

“I’m Guza and I enjoy doing Maths because it is so fun. I like helping people when they are stuck. I know that I need to work hard so I can get better.”

“I’m Nyiema, I’m in the ACE Maths Team. I enjoy Maths however, I still get confused and stuck sometimes, especially with fractions. I’m slowly getting better! My goal is for people to go for it and not to worry about what other people think.”

“I’m Grace and I’m part of the ACE Maths Team. Maths is one of my favourite subjects even though it is hard. My goal is to help people enjoy Maths.”

“My name us Ghaziyah, I want people to improve in Maths and reward them when they try hard. I want them also to try Maths in real life.”

“I am Ben and am part of the Maths Team. I find Maths hard, my aim is to get better. I like helping other people!”

“I’m Layal, I’m part of the Maths team. My goal is to make Maths fun. In the past I found Maths hard, but I have improved now.”

“I’m Nicole, I enjoy Maths however I was stuck a lot in Year 3. Now I don’t need as much help”.

Watch out for the Maths team around school!

I was was lucky enough to have a visit from Lucas and Tom from Mr Cosgrove’s class at lunch.

They were able to represent ANY number below 100 using base 10 resources (dienes).

The boys were very confident using their resources and could explain what they did.

Thanks for the visit boys and well done.

This week, Yawar has taken the teddy on an adventure to Crown Point. He has measured distance, time as well as working on subtracting and fractions.

Well done Yawar, keep up the great Maths!

Grace, from Mrs Turny’s class, took home the class Maths koala bear!

Grace did some great Maths, displaying it across two pages explaining what she did. She even added pictures of her adventures – thanks Grace!

Congratulations to 4MM for being crowned the Leeds Sumdog champions! Well done to everyone for playing, you should be extremely proud!

A great start for ACE in the Leeds Sumdog Contest, with 6 classes in the top 10:

Keep up the good work everyone 🙂

Macy and Matilda both completed wonderful Maths home learning last week. They completed lots of activities and displayed their learning beautifully!

The girls spent ages looking for me (sorry!) to show off their brilliant work. They eventually found me and I was amazed by how busy they had been and the level of Maths they were doing.

Thanks for your hard work girls, keep it up!

Mr Kay
