Prime, Square and Cube Numbers - Nearly half term!

 Another great week in year 6 comes to an end, and this week we have tackled prime, square, cube and composite numbers. Our factors freyer model has been really helpful in making those clear links between a factor and a multiple and helping us understand prime numbers. 

Week ending 20th September

As the week draws to a close, year 6 have been concluding their unit on place value by studying negative numbers and rounding. We spoke about how we encounter negative numbers in every day life (temperature, finances etc). This week's mathematical word of the week was integer; please ask your children what it means and for them to give some examples.
