Class 2 braved the elements today, albeit very briefly, before returning to the warmth of the hall for our ‘outdoor’ maths. We were applying our problem solving skills to act out adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers. We used the Start-Direction-How he walks strategy to move ourselves along the number line to find our answer. We now know that when the two signs in the middle of a calculation are the same the result is positive e.g. 6 -( – 4) = 10. When the two signs in the middle of a calculation are different, the result is negative e.g. -4 + ( -2) = -6. We are problem solvers!
