This week we have been reintroduced to Jo Boaler's You Cubed
Week of Inspirational Maths.
We learned that everybody can learn maths. That our brain can grow the more we work at more challenging Maths. We learned about the things we think will help or hinder us working in a group....not just for Maths. Our big idea is Respect this term, so we could see how important this value is to help our learning in groups too.
Today we looked at patterns and how both thinking about numbers and symbols, and using images (visualising) what we are doing in Maths helps strengthen our brains and understanding too. We found that people can find many patterns with the shapes we were looking at ...lots of different ideas.
We also learned some hand signals to quietly interact in a class.

| Shake finger and thumb - "I agree" |

| Sideways thumb - "Not Sure Yet" |
