Maths Week in Primary One

This week was Maths Week and we had so much fun learning about the number 3.

The children have been learning to form the number 3 in sand and using playdough. They have also been learning to write 3 in paint and with markers and pencils.

The boys and girls have been making sets of 3 using playdough to make 3 blind mice! They have also been making 3 storey towers and making necklaces with 3 beads.

Our wonderful Numicon resources are also being used to help the children explore the number 3 and how it is made. They figured out that 3 can be made using the shapes 1+1+1 and also using 2+1. They had so much fun discovering what the number 3 shape looks and feels like by playing "guess who" with the feely bag.

The boys and girls love using the number lines and number fans to find the number 3 and can use the eleflips to show 1, 2 and 3 elephants.

This week has had a special halloween theme. To link with the number 3, the children have been learning about triangles because it is also the shape of a witch's hat! They went on a shape hunt to find all the triangles that Mrs Rogers hid around the Primary One area and they also had fun doing a "colour by numbers" activity to colour a pumpkin using the numbers 1,2 and 3.

Maths Week was so much fun!
