Nightingale has been skipping for Maths Week June 2021

Maths Week 2021

In Year 5, we recorded our skipping challenge results in a range of different graphs and charts, including line graphs. We learnt why line graphs are an effective way of measuring our progress across the week, making it easier to see who had improved over time.

We have been learning how to present our scores in bar charts and pie charts. We even tried using technology to create our own 3D graphs.

To make sure we were counting correctly, we would only count once the person had jumped over the rope.

In Reception, we challenged ourselves to complete as many skips over the rope as we could in 1 minute.

In Year 6, we created line graphs and pie charts to track our progress throughout Maths Week. We calculated our mean average scores using our mathematical mastery with Mr K.

We even created our own eBooks to record our findings.

In Year 2, we had a brilliant week learning how to skip properly and challenging ourselves to improve. We recorded our jumps using tally marks and then created a gigantic pictogram in class.

In Year 3, we set ourselves the challenge of mastering continuous skipping and just look at how amazingly well we have improved over the week!

In Year 1, we completed our skipping challenge: how many jumps can you complete in 1 minute? Children worked in groups to jump and record each others score.

In Year 4 we did a skipping challenge to see how many skips we could do in 1 minute. We collected the raw data and then compiled our results into tables and graphs so that we could analyse it easier. It was a lot of fun!

Once we had all our scores in our tally charts, we used an online graph maker to create bar charts. We were then able to answer questions such as 'Who jumped the most in 30 seconds?' and 'How many more skips did we do?'

We have explored how to record results using frequency tables to group the scores. This was very helpful when it came to presenting the results in graphs.

We did some class learning about what pictograms are and what we might use them for.

In Nursery, we practised skipping over a rope and jumping during Maths Week.

We recorded our results on a tally chart.

Some of us were in charge of restarting the timer and telling their friends when to stop skipping.

Some of us chose to present our scores in bar graphs. We could then compare our progress bars side-by-side with our skipping partner.

We were then able to interpret the graphs to identify differences, more/ fewer than and who had made the biggest improvements.

In Year 6, we had a brilliant time learning how to 'jump rope' and master skipping across the week.

As you can see, we were professionals by the end of the week!

At Nightingale, we know that a child's well being is not just academic but also emotional, mental and physical. For Maths Week, we wanted to focus upon the benefits of skipping for physical well being as this is so fundamental in the growth and happiness of all children. We have all been learning how to record, present and interpret our super skipping in maths, using: tally charts, pictograms, bar charts, line graphs and pie charts. Come and see all the amazing learning that took place...

We used our frequency tables to design and create our own bar charts. We learnt about the X and Y axis, labelling and how to accurately draw with a ruler.

We used a table to record how many skips in a row we could do.

We also counted how many jumps we could do in one minute.
