From the Classroom - M4 (Ms W)

M4 have been investigating and practising addition strategies and using the most efficient strategy that works for them. We have used counting all to counting on and moving to number facts such as 'Friends of Ten' and doubles to use the most efficient method to give the correct answer. We have problem-solved using manipulatives to make the problem or drawing the problem and then explained our thinking to others. One way we all love to practise our strategies is to play a warm up game prior to our maths lesson. It is the same game all week so, once we know how to play the game, we can focus on the strategies we can use.
