Putting numbers in their place.

When you are still one or two years off turning into a two digit number yourself, thinking about numbers with four digits can sometimes be tricky. But that is what we turned our minds to in the second half of this week, THTU or Thousands, Hundreds, Tens and Units. Some of us had to work in teams in class to make massive long number lines going from 0 to 1000. Each group had to use a different scale for their number line and we needed to sort ourselves out so we didn't all just start at zero and make the same section. Another group were outside again collecting different things from the playground which we then had to put in the correct place on our super long number line when we took it outside. We all hope the good weather stays so we can keep enjoying getting outside for maths.

Preparing one of our number lines.

Going up in units of 25 to 1000.

   

How long?

How many? So where does that go on a 1000 number line?

Our lovely grounds are a great resource for our maths, science and literacy lessons.
