Senior Report (5/6)

Maths Marvels Unleashed!

We are excited to share with you the fantastic learning happening in our Year 5 and 6 Maths lessons here at Wollert Primary School! 

Our students have been diving into the exciting world of numbers, exploring important concepts such as place value, probability, and co-ordinates on the Cartesian plane.

In place value, students have been mastering their understanding of how digits hold different values depending on their position in a number. Our students have been using manipulatives, such as base-ten blocks and place value charts, to visually represent numbers and develop a solid foundation for their mathematical thinking. Our enthusiastic learners have been engaging in hands-on activities and games to reinforce their understanding, making place value come alive in our classrooms!

In probability, our Year 5 and 6 students have been embracing the world of chance and uncertainty. Through engaging discussions and real-life scenarios, they have been learning to predict outcomes and understand the likelihood of different events occurring. With the help of dice, cards, and spinners, our young mathematicians have been exploring probability experiments, developing their ability to interpret and analyse data. They have been using their critical thinking skills to calculate probabilities and make informed decisions based on their findings.

Lastly, our students have been navigating the world of co-ordinates on the Cartesian plane. They have been introduced to the X and Y axes, and with the guidance of their dedicated teachers, they have been plotting points and exploring patterns and relationships between co-ordinates. Through fun activities and challenges, our students have been honing their spatial awareness skills and developing a solid foundation in geometry and graphing. 

Kids' Voice

 Thanks go to Jean for putting us in touch with a real ROCKET SCIENTIST who explained how he uses the Cartesian plane in his every day work! Our Curiosity was off the charts!!!

Our students have been excitedly creating their own designs and shapes on the Cartesian plane, applying their knowledge to real-world scenarios.

We are incredibly proud of the progress and enthusiasm our Year 5 and 6 students have shown in their Maths lessons. Their dedication and eagerness to learn have been truly inspiring, and we look forward to seeing their continued growth in these important mathematical concepts.
