Over the past two weeks, students in Year 1 have used a range of concrete materials to explore and express numbers. In particular, we have been building our understanding of place value by using these maths tools to create 'tens' (i.e. bundles of 10 icy-pole sticks or sticks of 10 unifix blocks) and 'ones,' as well as playing maths games and solving problems.
