Numeracy Update
In P5/6 Numeracy, we have continued to develop our understanding of division by using a range of strategies to solve problems, including sharing equally and applying the long division (bus stop) method. We have also been learning about money, focusing on calculating change and adding and subtracting decimal numbers. In addition, we have been developing our understanding of fractions by identifying, ordering, simplifying and finding equivalent fractions. Some learners have also been applying these skills to find fractions of a quantity.
