maths

This week's maths is data handling. We will be making tally charts and using that information to complete frequency tables and bar graphs. To help read a tally chart pupils need to be confident at counting in 5s and then counting on in from a multiple of 5. 



Next week we will be looking at measurements. We'll start the week looking at measuring liquids: using the vocabulary capacity, litres and millilitres. They will be comparing how much different bottle and jugs hold, reading the measuring jugs and making estimates. At the end of the week we will be looking at time. Pupils will be looking at the relationship between days, hours, minutes and seconds (ie how many seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour etc.) 

Please could you send in any clean, empty, plastic bottles that we can use to measure with eg shampoo, shower gel. All shapes and sizes welcome! Thank you.
