One of my fave bits of maths every year is teaching the children to find percentages via finding 10%, 1%, 50% etc and adding together to make the % they need.
Waiting till they've nailed it.
Then showing they can also just multiply both numbers together and divide it by 100.
Here we go again baby!! Y5 are loving using @LbQorg to solidify learning. We’ve bashed our rounding today, grammar previously and even homework success. The best workload tool out there right now for any teacher in my book!!
Today as part of our Jigsaw lesson on democracy, I flipped it and asked them to reflect what it might be like to live somewhere without democracy and I read Malala’s Magic Pencil. You could have heard a pin drop. It still is one of the most powerful books to use in school.
"Daily storytime in school can change the atmosphere around reading. With the focus on enjoyment, children start to think of reading as something pleasurable... something they choose to do." Research proves the benefits of STORYTIME!
