In numeracy this week, P4 learned the maths signs for Greater Than and Less than and have been using these signs to compare pairs of numbers and number sentences (sums).  We also used the = sign when numbers were the same.

Pupils compared numbers on the interactive whiteboard, selected a symbol using the interactive pen then asked classmates to show whether they agreed with their answer using thumbs.  Numicon and cuisenaire rods were also used so that pupils could use materials to help them compare their own numbers, they arranged 2 sets and then wrote the greater than/less than or equals to sign on a write on/ wipe off whiteboard.

We will continue working with these signs until the end of term 1.
