We’ve moved on to the hard stuff. The boys and girls have been working very hard to learn the times tables.

Place Value
We have been learning about the value of where the digit is in the number, such as units, tens and hundreds. For example, if you have a number like 453, the place value of number 5 is tens, the place value of number 3 is ones and the place value of number 4 is hundreds.
We used our white boards to show our understanding and played games such as bingo, dominoes, matching and even a game of countdown.
Numbers Around Us
Numbers are always all around us. We work with numbers, and we deal with numbers on a day to day basis. We have been learning about numbers and were very good at spotting numbers in our classroom and thinking about where we might see them at home or in the environment. Some suggestions were front doors, telephones, clocks, shops and road signs. We took a camera around the school looking for numbers.
Planning the year
In Mathematics we have been learning about ‘Planning the Year’, learning about the days of the week, the months of the year, the seasons and how to use a calendar to plan and identify special events which happen throughout the year. Events such as Christmas, Easter and of course our birthdays!!
