thank you for popping in! Before we start our new
MENTAL AGILITY
focus we were keen to show you how hard we worked on

across the school:




having fun with numbers to 5, 10 (and beyond)!








experimenting with Place Value arrow cards and partitioning numbers into
100s, 10s and 1s
Place Value arrow cards represent numbers in expanded notation. The cards overlap to form multi-digit numbers.

and consolidation with online games.








lots of practice with visualising and learning important principles of seeing patterns, anchoring numbers and enforce number bonds with the hands on teaching resource REKENREKS.



and Ten frames – to help develop a strong number sense! Ten frames are very useful in helping learners visualise numbers and build a good understanding of the relationships between numbers.











fun with board games and
using DIENES resources to represent 1,10,100 and 1000

allowing the learners to understand the relationship between the different columns on a place value grid:













using a variety of resources to identify, write and partition numbers up to 1 000 000 including Place value charts to help find the place value of each digit based on its position in a number.







using Place value discs including decimal numbers to tenths.

Place value disks help learners compare the value of each place, like that the tens place is ten times the ones place.







focusing on rounding to 2 decimal places.

We are excited to get started with Addition and subtraction next.
See you soon! 🙂
