During our Maths lessons last week we learned all about Charlie Crocodile!

“Charlie Crocodile likes to eat the biggest number” Tendi

Children worked in pairs and had to create a number each using the Numicon apparatus. They discussed who’s number was greater and who’s number was smaller. Children then inserted the correct symbol to make the Maths statement correct.

 “Adrian has 14 and so do I” – Sidem

“14 is equal to 14” – Adrian and Sidem

 “My number is greater” – Cheidel

” 10 is less than 14″ – Arooj and Cheidel

“19 is bigger than 7” – Naomi and Corwyn

“20 is less than 23” -Danayi and Ihsan

“5 is equal to 5” – Hermon and Mohammed Rahim

“23 is less than 27” – Malaika and Tendi

“17 is more than 8” Sarah and Rebecca

“9 is less than 15” – Taym and Sebastian

During this lesson, children had to identify, represent and estimate numbers using a number line.

Hermon, Glevene, Sebastian, Naomi and Mohammed Rahim were given numbers on a post-it note. They were asked to stand at the front and read their numbers out.

“I have 22” Hermon

“I have 15” Glevene

“I have 19” Sebastian

“I have 17” Naomi

“I have 21” Mohammed Rahim

Once children had read out their number they were asked to put themselves in the correct order, starting with the smallest number.

After that, children had to go and estimate where their number should sit on the number line.
