Ballykeel Primary School & Nursery Unit

Miss Galloway's P2JT Mad 4 Maths group

27th Feb 2018

Primary 2 have been reading o'clock and half past times. They know the minute hand points at 12 for o'clock and at 6 for half past.  The children enjoyed making their own clocks this week and will set the hands on the clock for either a half past or o'clock time.  The clocks will be displayed in Miss Galloway's room.   They also revised 2D shape names and properties at the 2D shape shop today. The shop had very forgetful customers as the customers could not remember the name of the shape they were looking for so they had to describe the shape using some of its properties to the shopkeeper.  The shopkeeper then informed the customer what 2D shape they were looking for.  There were lots of conversations between the customers and the shopkeepers about the number of sides the shape had, whether the shape had straight or curved sides and how many corners the shapes had.  The children were very good at explaining special properties of some shape (e.g. For a square they knew the shape had 4 sides all the same length).
