Today we were identifying what is more or less than 1 litre.

Fractions and Time

Over the next few weeks in Maths, we are studying Fractions and Time.

This is what we will be learning:

-Identify and name simple fractions ie half, quarter, third, fifth, tenth

-Write simple fractions in words and symbols (ie half/ ½)

-Recognise that some fractions are the same (ie ½ and 2/4)

-Order fractions smallest to largest and largest to smallest with the same denominator (bottom number) ie

1, 2, 3, 4

4  4 4  4

-Solve fraction of a set problems by using skip counting/times table & division knowledge

ie There are 2 people and 10 biscuits. How many biscuits do they get each? (2,4,6,8,10 =5 or 2x5=10 or 10÷2=5)

-Read analogue time (o’ clock, half past)

-Read digital time

-Know a given time in analogue time and change to digital time (ie half past four is 4.30)

-Know a given time in digital time and change to analogue time (ie 4.30 is half past four)

-Reading calendars

-Asking children to tell the time from clocks at home

Extension:

(If your child knows how to read o’clock and half past)

-Read quarter to and quarter past in analogue and digital time

Measurement

This Term in Maths we are studying Measurement (length). We will be looking at the measurement units of mm, cm, m and km.

You can assist with this at home by helping your child to:
-Use measurement language such as shorter, taller and longer
-Identify which unit of measure you would use (ie What unit would you use to measure a dictionary? Cm)
-Practise measuring items with a ruler using centimetres.
