4TC Using Thinking Blocks

The children in year 4 have been enjoying learning about place value and column addition this term. The next logical step was to apply this learning to everyday word problems. In order to do this we have been using thinking blocks.

The children used our great new chrome books to answer word problems using thinking blocks, which are first labelled, then assigned values and finally used to solve the problems.

It was fun! 4TC loved using the computers to set their own level of challenge.

Give it a go at home. Mrs C :)
