Capacity

We are learning all about capacity in maths this week. 

We measured the capacity of different containers. 

Maths 3D Shapes

We are learning about 3D shapes. We can name and describe a sphere, cube, cuboid and a cylinder. 

Today, Múinteoir Sinéad placed some 3D shapes in a bag. We had to describe the shapes based on how many faces and edges they have and if they can roll. 

We had fun trying to guess the shape based on their description. 

Maths - Fractions

We have started learning about fractions in Maths.

Today we folded pieces of paper to find half of the piece of paper. 

We split sets of lollipop sticks in half too. This was lots of fun!

Measuring -Length

We are learning about length and measuring this week. 

We measured how tall we are! 

Maths - Measuring

Today in maths we were learning about length and measuring. We estimated and measured different objects around the classroom with lollipop sticks. Tomorrow we will use a metre stick to measure. 

Maths - money

This week we were learning all about money in maths. 

We took turns being a shopkeeper and customer. 

The customers had to count out their money to give to the shopkeepers. 

The shopkeepers had to count the money to make sure it was correct! 

Then, they had to give the correct change to the customers. 

Tens and Units (addition)

Today we were learning how to add big numbers! 

We used the tens and units to help us. 

We had lots of fun!

Mathematical Language

The first class children are working hard in Maths these days. They have learnt lots of new mathematical terms and words. 

You can help your child practice using this new language when completing their maths homework! 

Tables and mental maths

We are getting very good at learning our tables! We love playing tables games everyday. 

Maths 2D Shapes

We are learning all about different 2D shapes in school. 

We are sorting 2D shapes by their properties. We sorted them out by how many corners and lines they have, if they can roll and what type of lines they have (curved or straight). 

We love Maths!

The children in First Class love Maths and are using concrete materials to help them with their counting and addition. 

 We are busy at work!
