Mental Agility
and thank you for checking in on us!
is an important skill that aids learners to concentrate on their calculations, the problems and the methods involved. It enables learners to apply thinking skills to the problems presented to them and deepen their understanding!
The ability to calculate in your head is an important part of mathematics. It is also an essential part of coping with society’s demands and managing everyday events!
Please take a look at our new section of our Mental Agility rainbow – orange with
NUMBER BEFORE and NUMBER after
This is a school wide focus for all classes for the next 5 weeks!
Here are some suggestions in how to support numeracy and mental agility at home:

Please find attached some activities and ideas for early level:
FIRST LEVEL – Primary 2,3 and 4
Verbally or in writing practise numbers before and after to 1000!
Please find attached some activities and ideas for first level:
SECOND LEVEL – Primary 5,6 and 7
Gain confidence in naming numbers before and after to 1 000 000.
Practise your times tables and skip counting on and off the table such as adding 4: 2,6,10,14,18 etc
Challenge yourself including decimal numbers!
