January 2025 - Inside Triangles
How many different triangles can you draw on the dotty grid which each have one dot in the middle?
Here is a four by four dotty grid.
I have joined three dots on the grid to make a triangle which has one dot inside it.
How many different triangles with one dot in the middle can you draw?
How do you know you have found them all?
December 2024 - Christmas Elves
Father Christmas gives his elves some new clothes: red, green or yellow jackets and trousers.
The elves have fun by mixing up the jackets and trousers.
How many different ways can they wear the jackets and trousers?
Please send your Christmas Elves solutions to Mrs Bishop, as I would love how many different outfits the elves can create.

November 2024 - How Many Dots?
How many dots can you see? How did you count them? Talk with your family about how they counted the dots. How can you check your answer is correct.
I would love to know how you counted the dots, so please send your thoughts to Mrs Bishop and the these can be shared on the school website to celebrate maths at home.
Solutions
Millie decided to group them in pairs and count up in multiples of two to find the total number of dots. She recorded her workings as the two times table.
Lily said, "First I just counted the dots. That was medium hard. Then I asked Mummy and she counts the diagonals but misses out the crossings. Daddy and Christopher count the rows up and down. Then I counted the rows up and down."
