MATHEMATICS

We have been having a lot of fun during our maths sessions. We have been doing daily practice in mental maths, times tables, reading analogue clocks, addition and subtraction facts, 2D and 3D shapes and word problems. We have been playing card games to improve the speed and accuracy at which we can add, subtract and multiply.

We have also started using our Prime Maths books. They are so good because we get to work on concepts together in the colourful Course Book and then once we understand we get to work on our own in the Practice Book.

On Wednesdays we focus on word problems. We have been using the bar model to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division number stories. We have made so many improvements in using this strategy that the problems get harder and harder every week.
