Collaborative Maths - First week back

As a class we are doing collaborative maths in small groups. The children are given a problem and then in groups of 3 or 4, they pool ideas and knowledge in how to solve it.  The students are given roles like 'recorder, reporter and keeper-on-tracker'.

We 'warm-up' our maths brains first with a dot-talk. This particular dot talk is designed for multiplicative thinking answers as there are too many dots to count one-to-one.

Here are some photos of this week's collaborations. We are taking extra time to thoroughly wash our hands and sanitise frequently, also we are ensuring that we are not in each other's 'breath zone'.
