Number 4

Today, in maths, we have been exploring number 4. We found things around the classroom that represented 4 and talked about our ideas on the maths mats.  Hollie found a number 4 numicon plate, Lexie found a rectangle and a square and Amelia was able to explain how the two shapes are the same and different. As we shared our ideas we thought carefully about using mathematical language. Austin made a tower of 4 unifix cubes. Oliver brought a dice to the maths mat and explained how the dots told us which number we have landed on. Oscar found 4 dinosaurs and said that one dinosaur could also be number 4 as it has got 4 legs. Tilly made 4o’clock on the clock.  We drew our ideas on our clipboard.
