Egyptian maths

This is what we've been doing in maths this week and we would like you to have a go and see if it works.

We would like to know if it was easy and if you liked it and why ?
This is how to do it

1.draw short vertical line
2.decide which number to double
3.put a number 1 at the top left corner
4.put the number you decided at the top right corner
5.double both sides until you can make the number on the left
6. add up the right hand side and it will give you the answer!

Muddy maths

Over the last few weeks we have been using real life conundrums in our maths lessons to help us to apply what we have learned this year.
So far we have 'measured the splash' working out how big a splash the Olympic divers make to help judge the dive and we have tried to eork out how much concrete the builders used in the foundations of out new building.
Here are some photos of us having fun with our learning!
