We have been working on remembering, showing our understanding and applying our learning in real life situations. It is very important to know what type of calculation is the correct approach so we have been numeracy detectives , solving the clues that the word problems can give us. We have been exploring the language of numeracy to work out which direction to go in. We have also had the choice to push ourselves with a chilli challenge. This is an extra tricky bit of detective work  to keep our brains buzzing. Today we learned it’s important to use what you already know as a stepping stone to accuracy in a new calculation. Applying higher order thinking skills to our numeracy means so much more than sheets of identical ‘sums’.
