The last week or two, we have been learning a lot about the value of each digit in a 2 digit number. There’s a lot to learn!

We’ve found the numbers on a 100 square; we’re learning where they all are in relation to each other. One of our morning routines has been to count in Tens. We practise doing this with all the round Tens and with Tens with some Ones. We’ve used concrete objects to count out the Tens and Ones, we’ve drawn pictures of Tens and Ones and we’ve written sums with Tens and Ones in them. By the end of this week, most of us are confidently adding together 2, 2 digit numbers eg 43 + 35 =

Next week we’ll be looking at these 2 digit numbers again and using our different methods to practise the operation of subtraction.
