We have been working really hard on our maths tasks linked to Expressions and Equations. \u00a0We have been finding out how to use the symbols for greater than and less than when comparing two numbers. \u00a0Some of the children have been learning how to solve \u00a0simple equations by working out the value of a letter, such as n or x. \u00a0Some examples of these equations:<\/p>\n

n +6 = 15 \u00a0so \u00a0n = 9 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 73 – n = 49 so \u00a0n = 24<\/p>\n

We also designed our own Expressions and Equations posters to help us to remember the symbols.<\/p>\n
