Maths Investigation day 2022
We worked together to solve number sentences that were around the Barton's Oasis area. We used our knowledge of numbers bonds to 10, number trios and inverse to help us find the missing number.
We enjoyed learning outside in the sunshine.
Electricity
We investigated how to use wires and batteries to light a light bulb. We asked questions like 'What happens to the light bulb when you add more batteries?' and 'What happens to the light bulb when you add more light bulbs?'
Using Post-it planning we planned our own investigations to find the answers.
