Middle Report (3/4)

Welcome to the Middle Community

The Middle Community has been investigating time and how clocks represent the time of the day. They have also been using timelines, calendars and clocks to develop their understanding of familiar events and times.

Students have been learning to identify and sequence events from their day and label this with the time it occurred using digital and analogue clocks. They have also been able to extend their learning by recording statements to demonstrate their understanding of the duration of time, which can be a very difficult concept to master.

Our Middle Community students have also continued to practice their place value skills by working with numbers at their next point of learning. Place Value is one of the bricks needed to be soundly understood as it frames all other patterns and mathematical concepts we work with. Knowing how to represent digits and numbers in a variety of ways (renaming them), being able to identify and name the 'place' a digit finds itself as well as the value it holds in that place/number forms the primary focus of our Middle School Maths so far. A solid understanding of Place Value provides the opportunity for deep transfer of knowledge and skills in more complex mathematical work. 

Students has been learning how to:

• Identify odd & even numbers.
• Draw their number as MAB.
• Practise writing a number in numeration and worded form.
• Understand and rename numbers, for example, 234 has 23 tens and 4 ones.
• Show understanding of placement of numbers on a number line.
• Show understanding of expanding numbers, for example, 234 is 200 + 30 + 4
• Identify how many tens there are in the whole number, for example, 234 has 23 tens.
