Ten Frames

Miss Copeland

Ten-Frames are two-by-five rectangular frames into which counters are placed to illustrate numbers less than or equal to ten. Below are two ways to use them; five-wise patterns, where you fill the top row before adding to the bottom; and pair-wise patterns, where you build up in groups of two.

Pupils will develop the ability to look at a ten frame instantly recognise how many counters there are without needing to count. This is called subitising.

Pupils will also be able to explain their answer.

“There are five because the top row is filled.”
“There are ten because both rows are filled.”
“There are nine because there is one gap. Ten minus one is nine.”
“There are four because two and two makes four.”

It is very important for pupils to be able to visually recognise numbers to 10 in many ways.

Please enjoy playing the many fun games below!

Maths Week 2023

Ms.Brunner

Learners of the Royal Mile Primary School –

In preparation for this year’s

15th September – 1st October 2023

We value your ideas and would appreciate your suggestions greatly!

Why not check out this website and get inspired:

https://www.mathsweek.scot/news/maths-week-scotland-2023-dates-and-theme

Here are some ideas from staff to celebrate

at the Royal Mile:

We will launch maths week with a fun buddies

assembly to revise all our hard work on

Primary 3, 4, 6 and 7 will visit the Museum on the Mound –

Located in the historic Bank of Scotland Head Office, this fascinating museum takes a fresh look at money – and much, much more. Art & design, technology, crime, trade and security – all feature in the story of money.

and focus on amazing workshops such as:

  • What is Money? – Investigate a range of extraordinary artefacts once used as money in other cultures. 
  • Heads and Tails – Explore the design and security features of coins. Discover how they were made in medieval Scotland and strike your own.
  • Design Your Own Banknote – Compare and contrast banknotes past and present. Add security features to your own note using stamps and invisible ink.
  • Kists & Keys – Spark conversations about value, some of the benefits and risks of using cards and how to keep money safe using the Museum’s collections, including £1,000,000.

We are hoping to experiment with BBC coding challenges and

Lots of opportunities to play motivating maths games by just scanning QR codes dotted around the school and spend lots of time focusing on

such as maths walks.

We already look forward to a

competition!

for your ideas and suggestions too! 🙂

Is there something maths/numeracy related that you always wanted to find out more about?

What did you really enjoy during the previous maths weeks?

LET US KNOW! Please help us make it a fantastic maths week!

The activity sheet above are the same examples that will be covered in the class.

The chilli indication will help you choose your level of difficulty.

Lots of practice on this will help our learners to become confident and gain a good understanding of number!

We would really appreciate your support and regular revision at home too, such as:

How many ones are in 369? How many hundreds are in 369?

SUMMER HOLS!!

MrsHo

Dear Parents and carers (and my P3 class),

My final time writing this P3 blog…It has been an absolute pleasure to teach this lovely class this past year! I have seen each individual grow in confidence and I know they are going to have another amazing year with Mrs Rush in Primary 4. The children have been so resilient and are always looking out for each other. I asked them what was one of their best things in P3, many of them said, “the friends in our class”. I really am so proud of them and wish them all the best next year.

I will still be seeing them around school, so there’s no getting away from me just yet ;p

I hope everyone has a lovely holiday and as always, stay safe and happy!

What’s coming up…

MrsHo

Dear Parents and carers,

Next week will be our second last week of the term and we have lots of fun filled activities planned.

On Wednesday 21st, the winning house for Sports day – Holyrood Royals will be accompanied by Mr Madine and Mrs Harrison to have a fun morning out at Meadows playpark. They will be leaving school at 9.30am and returning around lunchtime. Please ensure children are wearing comfortable walking shoes and bring a snack and water bottle. They will also be travelling on the bus so please remember to have their bus passes ready or hand in £2.50 to purchase a child dayticket.

On Thursday 22nd, the Primary 1-4s will be travelling to East Links Family Park by private coach to spend the whole day there. The coach will leave at 9.15am from school and return at 2pm, in time for home time. Please ensure your child is on time that morning as they will not want to miss out on this fun filled day. Snack, water bottle and a packed lunch are needed for this trip as well as comfortable clothing and shoes, cap and sun cream – applied before school (and able to reapply by themselves throughout the day).

We are all looking forward to the upcoming fun activities.

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Ho
