In maths this term we have been learning all about Algebra. It can be quite confusing using letters alongside numbers but with some more practice I am sure you will all have it worked out. Algebra is great for working on your mental maths skills (obviously if the calculations aren’t too tricky!) so where possible you should be trying to work out your answers in your head.

Today we played some games to help with our understanding of equations. You created your own equations with your maths partner and then we played some loop card games. Please tell someone at home what an equation is. Can you give someone at home a few equations to work out?

Here are some photographs from today’s maths session. One of our maths pairs managed to use our numbers and letters to write their names. Can you guess who it was? Have a close look at some of the equations made today. Can you work them out?
