Addition Tuesday

Today is our day to practise addition.

Warm Up:

• Practise your addition playing Hit the Button

• Write down your numbers as far as you can – you can try and count up in 1’s, 2’s, 5’s or 10’s. Who can reach the highest number?

Main Task:

• In class we learned our number stories to 10.

• Remember a ‘number story’ includes all the different ways to make a number e.g. here are the number stories of 2 and 3:

• To remind you of your number stories, click on this link: Number Stories and it should go through each number story one after the next. If the link doesn’t work then type ‘number pairs’ into YouTube.

• In your jotter, or on a piece of paper, can you write down the number stories for numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Write down all the different ways to make each number, just like in the examples above.

• You can make you number stories colourful, or make them like a poster, if you wish.

• Do you remember the pattern we worked out in class? There are 2 ways to make 1, 3 ways to make 2, 4 ways to make 3, 5 ways to make 4 etc.

Extra Challenge:

• Can you write down the number stories for numbers bigger than 10?

Game to Support Learning:

• Play Sumdog for 10 minutes – Mr Green is awarding Sumdog champions.
