Dear Students, Parents, Carers and Families,

Numeracy in Year 1 and 2

In the junior school they have been very busy thinking about numbers using counting materials and MAB. The students have been putting their numbers in place value columns and know all about hundreds and thousands.

In their classrooms they have learnt to expand and order numbers. When skip counting they have learnt to count by twos, fives and tens and are able to count forwards and backwards.

The Year one and two students are become counting detectives and are learning to identify one more and one less, and ten more and ten less. They love using materials like MAB, blocks, abacus, counters, arrays or ten frames, when working with numbers. These are some comments from our young mathematicians:
