2. Then put blocks into your shape on the computer and,

3. Count how many it really is.

4. Then write in the answer.

THURSDAY MATHS

In Rotating Groups today the computer group will need to practise telling the time and volume (measuring the space inside a closed shape).

Have a go at all of these games.  Try to beat your own score with the clocks. 

TIME:  This is the clock we’ve been practising on using the SmartBoard.  It’s called BANG ON TIME. http://resources.oswego.org/games/BangOnTime/clockwordres.html 

Pull the hands of the clock to the correct times and check your score.  http://www.worsleyschool.net/socialarts/telling/time.html

VOLUME: Try to work out how many cubes will fill the entire box.  Then put them in and see if you were right. http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=6
