Tech Week Maths on the IPad

Maths - Tech Week

This week as part of Tech Week, we did a maths lessons on the IPads. We looked at three different apps: Math Bingo, Eggs on Legs and Pop Math. We thought this was a great way to practise our division tables in a fun way! We also used www.multiplication.com om the interactive whiteboard to revise our divisio tables. Even though this website is called 'multiplication' , you can also play division, addition and subtraction games on the website. You can follow our tech week adventures on the school Twitter Page.

Scratch Jr

This week , we have started to use the Scratch App. This is all about computer coding. We created two programmes. This first one we could drive a car along a street and the second we were able to have 3 characters in a race. We have to use co-ordinates to help make the characters move and used or addition/subtraction skills to work out how far. We thought it was really cool! We are really looking forward to next Wednesday already.
