MATHS

This week we have started learning about money. We started with a brainstorm about what we know about money. Most of us can identify coins and their value.
During our money unit we will compare values of coins, add coin and note value by skip counting and using addition and subtraction.

At the beginning of each maths lesson we start with a number focus. This week we are continuing to learn about multiplication for x2, x5 and x10. We would love to make groups of 2,5 and 10 at home so we can learn our times tables!

e.g.
2 x 1 = 2 groups of 1 or 1 x 2 = 1 group of 2
2 x 2 = 2 groups of 2
2 x 3 = 2 groups of 3 or 3 x 2 = 3 groups of 2
