Maths

Year 1

LQ: How can I measure lengths?

Today we will be learning how to use non-standard units, such as cubes, hands and straws to measure length and height.

The units you use need to be of equal size/length and they must be in line with one end of the object with no gaps between them to get an accurate measurement.

Year 2 

Today we are looking at dividing by 5. Remember you can count in 5's and use your 5 times-tables to help you. 

How does knowing your 5 times-tables help to divide by 5?
