We had a very busy maths morning today.  Some of us were creating taking away sums in the water tray, construction and with dice.  We are becoming very confident at recognising how to make a subtraction sum. Many of us also experimented with fact families.  We worked with a partner and used linking elephants to create a sum e.g. 3 red elephants + 4 blue elephants = 7. We then had to work out the other ‘members’ of this fact family e.g. 4+3=7, 7-3=4, 7-4=3.   Some of us chose to do this with numbers up to 1000. 🙂

We also spent some time correctly forming numbers using playdough as some of us still get muddled.  Feel free to practise this at home with your child some more.
