Today in maths we were using money as a context to help us understanding how to take away from a number with zeros in it.

We need to exchange one from the column to the left and make ten of the thing we need.

eg 100 – 11 = change 1 hundred into 10 10s and take 1 away. This leaves 90. Then take 1 of the tens and turn it into 10 units. Then take 1 away and this leaves 8 tens and 9 units = 89.

100-11=89

here are some more place value games to play!

In PE we warmed up with “rock, paper, scissors” with our bodies. We are working on our hand and eye coordination on a Thursday. Next week we will start badminton!
