19 Jan What’s happening in Year 1 – Week 2
This week, we have worked very hard in Maths looking at the composition of numbers. First, we looked at making 10 in lots of different ways. We used a variety of resources, including multi-link cubes, counters and tens frames, coins and numicon to show 10. Then we moved onto our teen numbers. We became ‘mathemagicians’ and learnt how to count numbers really quickly, looking at the number of tens they have and the number of ones. For example, we know that 16 is made of 1 ten and 6 ones, and 12 is made of 1 ten and 2 ones! We used the concrete, pictorial and abstract approach to cement our understanding. Look at what we did!
