We started our new maths topic today.  We are learning abut taking away.  We can call this subtract or minus too!  We watched a great video that we all loved.  We were eager for it to go on the Blog.  Please click here to access it.

We have started thinking about taking away 1 using numberlines.  We thought this was an easy strategy to use.  You could reinforce this learning at home by asking your child various taking away 1 sums such as 9-1,5-1 etc.  We also have been learning to solve sums where everything is taken away like 1-1, 4 million – 4 million, 3 hundred – 3 hundred etc.
