Using manipulatives in Willow maths set!

Willow class have been incredibly hands on with their maths this week in trying to solve tricky fraction problems.

They have been learning all about how to find a fraction of an amount and were able to use a range of objects to help support and deepen their mathematical understanding.




They conducted their own investigations and soon learned the importance of knowing their timetables in order to find fractions of amounts. Here, you can see Finley and Sonia attempting to find 1/4 of 22. They soon realised it wasn't easy to do!




"It was so much fun using the objects to help us understands the maths!" Chloe, Year 3


A great start to the unit Willow maths set!
