Whole Number

Smartie Maths
by Jamie, Thomas, Matthew K and D


We are looking at whole number in Mathematics.  On Monday we did an exciting activity called smartie maths. First we opened a little box of smarties. Then we arranged the smarties from highest to smallest according to the number value. We arranged them according to the colour code for their place value e.g green=1.






For example these smarties have a number of
11, 051, 301.

Then we had to work out who had the highest number in year 5.  It was Matthew D with 52,123,200. Then we had to answer questions about the number for example we had to write the number in words and figure out the expanded notation for the number.  We also had to write 5 questions for a partner.

What did you learn from the Smartie Maths lesson?
