In mental maths we reviewed missing numbers on a number chart and number bonds. We explored strategies used when adding ( 8+1+3+9) and strategies used in solving story problems! We investigated the vocabulary, clues and numbers presented in each problem. The focus was on addition problems and explanations of how they solved their problems. When working at home with your child on math skills, ensure they explain the processes involved in math concepts and not only the rote answer. Next week we will focus on strategies used in story problems involving subtraction as well as review 3D shapes.
