Stretching Ourselves in Maths

Today in Mrs Chant's maths group we continued our learning all about division.  Some of us even stretched ourselves and did division with remainders and then turned them into fractions.

At the start, we thought it would be kind of hard but at the end I actually felt more confident doing dividing.  It was difficult at times and we got in the learning pit.


The learning pit is where you go when learning is really hard.  Sometimes you feel stressed and not very confident but that's ok - we need to get in the pit to make really good progress.

When it found it difficult today we helped each other (by being teachers), we asked Mrs Chant and we practiced our division skills on Khan Academy and MyMaths.

At the end of the session we felt confident and we were able to explain to others how we solved the problems.  We're feeling proud of ourselves for being so determined.



If you need any help with maths or division, then we're here to help you.  Just let us know by leaving us a comment on this post.
