Which flavour ice-cream do you like the best?

Hi Everyone,
Today the kids in Room 13 had a great time playing the Caterpillar Ordering maths games. You'll find a link for this site on the post below.It is a terrific site because you can differentiate the to suit the needs of the children and still work as a whole class on the smart board . it was fascinating to observe all of the different strategies the children used to problem solve.
We are beginning a unit on data. Did you notice the poll on our Room 13 entry page? What flavour ice cream do you like to eat? Cast your vote and we will tell you the results tomorrow!

Top Marks For Maths Sites

Hi Everyone,
We are using the Top Marks International Key Stage 1& 2 sites for our whole class maths sessions over the next few weeks. I am really impressed with this site. The games and activities are highly engaging and work well on an interactive whiteboard and regular computer. You will find them under the 'Explore on your own' links. Our focus for the rest of this week will be on the measurement section of Key Stage 1. We will be looking specifically at telling the time and measuring lines.

Welcome to Our Maths Blog

The Junior Crew Kids use this blog to complete in class and home work activities. The links in the left margin are organised to cater for the needs of my class groups.

The post area contains links to maths sites that I use during small group teaching. Click on the picture to access the site.

The area headed 'Explore on Your Own' lists the sites that I use to find the links for my class. It's a great place to look for new resources.
