The battle started slow – How did it end: Water house were the clear winners in this week’s battle, despite a very slow start – Very well done! Take a look at the statistics below and see if you got the top score.
Top six player scores:
This week saw the whole of Phase 3 explore the mathematical concepts of area and perimeter – see our earlier blogs too (click the links below). Friday’s lesson involved some deeper reasoning – Can you use your problem solving skills to find a solution to the question shown below? This was just one of the questions the classes undertook.
Other area and perimeter blogs: Click here and here.
Some of us also took to the playground for a practical maths lesson, where we estimated and measured the perimeter of the netball court in strides, and tried to reason why some sections of the netball court have the same perimeter as others.
After a full week at school, Earth are well ahead – Play, has though, been somewhat limited, so there is everything to play for. Get playing, ahead of the close of play on Sunday!
Today, Phase 3 tested their practical maths skills, measuring the perimeter and area of given 2-D shapes. They estimated the measurements first and then set about measuring the shapes, with the new tape measures – calculating lengths and area accordingly: with great success! Everyone, felt more confident by the end of the lesson. Well done everyone!
During the remainder of this week, we will explore the topic further, applying new knowledge to more calculations (even compound shapes and triangles) and solving problems too – using our ever improving reasoning skills.

The battle seemed tame this time – with Earth house the clear winners in this week’s battle – Very well done!
It was also great to see so many of you taking part, but it clear to see why Earth won in the end – simply more pupils taking part. Water house, will you get your revenge next week?

With just one day (an INSET day) Earth are still way ahead – Water, you can still do this – you just need to get on TTRS now (maybe during your INSET day too).
After nearly three days, Earth have increased their lead further – Water, you can still do this – you just need to get on TTRS now!
