Busy mathematicians!

We have been extremely busy in maths this week. we have done lots of work on multiplication and division. The best thing and most clever thing we learnt was how to write remainders as fractions or decimals:

34 divided by 8 = 4 and a quarter

54 divided by 10 = 5.4

Writing instructions

This week in literacy we have been learning the features of instruction text. First we had to look at different sets of instructions and find out what they all had in common and what the features of instructional text were. We started by giving instructions orally by planning a simple card or dice game and have just moved on to writing our own instructions.
