We have been doing lots of subtraction in maths.  Subtraction means taking away.  The biggest number is at the start of the sum.  Some of us use cubes to help us.  Some of us like counters.  Sometimes we use fingers or number lines and sometimes we can even do it in our heads!

We do sums in jotters and we play games to help us.

We have subtraction jigsaws, subtraction matching, using dice to subtract the small number from the big number and a subtraction sums on lolly sticks to put in the right cup.

 

Today we are writing sums. We are using the adding beads. We are trying to get two numbers that add to 10. We are also finding switcher sums.
A switcher sum is like this:
4+6=10 and the switcher is 6+4=10.

We have been making sets of…
I have made 3 sets of 4 to make 12.
and I have made 3 sets of 1 to make 3

I learned how to make sums that add to 10. I know that 1+9=10 and the switcher for it is 9+1=10
