This week the boys and girls have been learning lots of new concepts in numeracy. We have had a very successful week developing lots of new skills.
Some of the boys and girls were revising their numbers to 20. We worked on ordering the numbers correctly and matching the words to digits.
Millie and Monroe were very interested in learning how to multiple. We learned that 2 x 4 is the same as 2 groups of 4 or 4 + 4. We also learned that when we multiple by 2 we are just doubling the number.
We also spent some of the week working on solving word problems. All pupils worked extremely hard together to solve each problem. We looked at words which meant add and words which meant subtract to work out what operation we needed to use to answer the question. Each pair then explained how they solved each word problem.
Ruan and Joshua worked hard together using the numicon to make the story of 10.
There were lots of number patterns and colour patterns made this week.
