Welcome back Everyone! Hope you had a good weekend!

Here are our Big Maths CLIC Targets for this week :

C – I can partition a 2 digit number (e.g 36 = 30 + 6)

L – I can say the 5 x table.

I – I can find the missing number to the next multiple of 10.                     (e.g. 28 + ?  = 30)  Use your jigsaw numbers to 10 to help you! 

C – I can subtract a 1 digit number from a multiple of 10 (e.g. 50 – 6 = 44,  70-3 = 67)

Try working on them for 15 minutes each day!

Let’s brush up on our 5 x table facts by getting active and singing along !

• Play Hit the Button to speed up the recall of your 5 x table facts.  Record your highest score for Hit the Answer and Hit the Question. Squares you can also try dividing by 5 on here too.

This game is great for your  Counting CLIC target this week as it helps you with partitioning numbers. Try 2 digit numbers first and if you are finding that easy, why not try 3 digit or even 4 digit numbers!

Think about how you’re feeling at the moment – Are you enjoying time at home? Are you bored or missing your friends? Are you worried about anything? What have you been getting up to this week?

I would love to reply to you so perhaps if you write it on paper then you could send me a picture  or you could even try typing it up on the computer and then an adult could email it to me.
