This week we have been learning about all kinds of subtraction.  We have been counting back, taking away as well as finding the difference between two numbers.  As always the children worked really well with their buddies to play the different games and practise improve their skills.

At home…

This week we have been playing some maths games on the iPads to help us get really fast at knowing our number bonds.  Rapid recall of basic number facts really helps the children to do well in all of their maths as they can use facts that they know to help solve other problems.  Rapid recall of…

We are getting really good at knowing how many tens and ones make up the teen numbers (14 is 1 ten and 4 ones).  Today we played different games that let us practise our skills.

This week we have been learning about place value.  We have been finding out what each digit in a two digit number represents.  We realised that the first digit represents how many groups of 10’s there are and the second digit represents how many ones the are.  We spent time representing the teen…

We have all been very busy learning lots about shape.  The children have been doing lots of practical investigate activities to help them to confidently name and describe 2D and 3D shapes.

Today we used the plastic shapes to help us develop our ideas about how to build a house.  We thought about which shapes worked best and learnt lots about 3D shapes.  We made cubes,cuboid, pyramids and triangular prisms.  Some of us got creative and tried other shapes too.  Working out which…

This week we have been using the part whole model to help us develop our understanding of the symbols + and =. The model is made up of one circle for each part ( the numbers that are to be added together) these are joined to a larger circle where the parts can be put together and we car work out…

The children have been using different maths resources to support their learning. Well Done Year 2.  

We have been learning about greater than and less than and ordering numbers by size.  Today the children had to make 3 different numbers using only 10 cubes and order them from smallest to greatest.  We found lots of different ways and there were lots of great discussions.  Why not practise at…

Alex is our highest scoring TTRockstar! Well Done! Come on Year 3 who can be the fastest?

As part of our Place Value unit we have been using concrete apparatus to represent numbers with hundreds, tens and ones. 

Can your child add 10 to a number using the correct mathematical language?

We are trying to be TTRrockstars!! We are trying to become super speedy with our times tables
