Miss Innes’ group conclude homework on Wednesday. Please complete the final task Miss Innes has set for Wednesday.

Maths

Ten mental maths questions each night. These are based on their previous and current mental strategies that they have been using. Please say the calculation out loud and allow them plenty thinking time. Any “concrete” strategies they favour should be encouraged (fingers, patterns, beads etc) Note down their answer onto the sheet. Any miscalculations can be discussed.

Have a great week.

We have been learning lots of new things in maths since we arrived in Primary One. We really enjoy problem solving because we get to act out our strategies and work together to solve the problem. We have also been learning about adding three numbers, halving numbers and identifying right angles. Take a look at what we have learned so far this week.
