= = ** Timestables Groups: ** For the timestables groups, instead of doing it as one big class in one big maths lesson, we were able to choose a group that we were to go in to. Mr. Graham’s group was if you were confident with all of your timestables, Miss S’s (Miss Scanlon’s) group was if you knew most of the, but not all of them and Miss Bates group was if you struggled or didn’t know many timestables. I chose Mr. Graham’s group. In the group we always start with a list from A-Z with timestables ranged in between 1-12. Each time we do it you are timed with how long it takes to do it. You are supposed to improve each time, but I usually stay around the same time, sometimes get worse and also the occasional improvement by about three seconds. My best time so far is 1.18 minutes.

**4 Operations group:** The 4 Operations group is groups that we are put into roughly of how strong we are in that certain operation. The four operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We do a test to see where we should be put into. We have just recently done a second test though because the teachers don’t feel that some people are in the right group.

We did the test cricket in term one. It was where you rolled a dice and that was how many runs you got. If you rolled a 5 you went out. After you went out three times the game was finished. You had to play at least 11 innings/rounds. After we had finished that we had to convert our the round with the biggest score onto a paint document and create an oval with a cricket pitch and draw lines to represent what score you got plus a key to show what the lines actually represented. This is my Test Cricket that I made in Paint. Here it is: In term 1 and term 2 I have created the ultimate pizza. To create this pizza I you had to have everyone in your family plus extras if you wanted to extend yourself. I added in two friends. You drew in a circle and divided it equally in to how ever many people you had. I had seven. It was a bit difficult because seven is an odd number. You added on pizza toppings and counted however many you had and divided it so everyone had the same amount of toppings on each slice. Eventually you would have a page full of maths sums and your pizza. I think the activity was better than normal maths.
