In numeracy we have been revising and addition and subtraction. We have also been working really hard to use our mental math strategies to answer a range of questions. During play, we have been using lots of different materials to help us to subtract accurately.

‘We didn’t use number lines we worked on trying to figure it out in our heads. I put the big number in my head and counted down with my fingers.’ Samuel

‘We were working on number families. We could only use three numbers. If I was using six and four that would equal ten. You can make four calculations with a number family.’ Melody

‘We did calculations by building a lego tower and taking some away and then we wrote the answer. We used dabbers to make dots and then we crossed out the ones that we were taking away.’ Bella
