Welcome to our blog. Together, the Strathmore Primary School community will promote a commitment to lifelong learning. Through a stimulating and challenging environment, the school will empower its students to reach their potential and become caring and productive members of an ever-changing world.
This Term, the Year 1 students have been building on their number and place value knowledge. They have been working in a variety of ways by experimenting with many forms of making and naming numbers through hands on and small group activities.
Students have used hands on materials to represent numbers and understand what they physically represent.
This Term, the Grade 3 students have been developing their understanding on place value of 4 digit numbers. They have been completing problem solving tasks that require them to apply place value to model, partition, rearrange and regroup numbers.
The Grade 3’s created place value flowers, that they used to add and subtract from using a 4 digit number. They utilised a range of mental math strategies while completing their task. The students have also been creating number expanders and using place value arrows and MAB to rename 4 digit numbers.
Below are some pictures of the students’ learning tasks.
