As you have seen we have been working on understanding the language of numeracy problems and being Numeracy Detectives, thinking deeply about the clues we are given, understanding what type of operation we are being asked to do and then performing the calculation, recording it with Numicon shapes, Numicon rods or in writing on our working wall or in our problem solving booklet. We played some fun corner games. Mrs O read us a problem and we had to analyse the language to understand what type of calculation should be done. We then ran to the corner labelled with that operation. We had to offer evidence to support our decision. Activities like these help develop our critical thinking skills.
