Mathematics

We sure have some budding mathematicians in the 1/2 building! This week, we started our Number and Place Value units with a week of investigations. The children had lots of fun exploring mathematical concepts in a way that 'doesn't feel like maths'. We noticed lots of things about numbers by using counters, dice, dominoes, calculators and ICT.
1K made a tower that was 190 unifix long and 1B enjoyed ordering numbers on number lines. The Year Ones explored 'teen' numbers, while the Year Two's worked on their understanding of skip counting by 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's.
This term we will be focusing on counting, place value, addition and subtraction. Extra weekly tasks will be made available on StudyLadder on Monday 21st February, further details will be sent home then.
