Hurrah! The Power Maths books have arrived in school! If you have a home pack, yours has been collected with the home pack. If you don’t have a home pack because you have access to the internet, but you would like your Power Maths book, let me know at the usual address, and I’ll leave it in the office for you to collect. They will need to come back to school at the end of this crazy time, so make sure you keep them safe!
Reception, you only have to write in your powermaths books on a Friday, because Reception maths should be a practical thing.
Year 1, you get to write in yours every day! Aren’t you the luckiest? Please do send pictures of the completed pages, or, hopefully, we’ll be able to talk about them soon on Teams, which will be exciting for all of us.
So.
Reception – you are on comparing quantities. Which is more? Which is fewer? We can do this with anything and we di it all the time. In my house it’s usually people wanting to know who has the most roast potatoes! This is a really practical week, so today, just have a try with using something around you, and I’ll try and post a video to show you what I mean.
Year 1
You are adding by counting on. This means you start from the largest number, and count on the smallest number. Here’s an Oak Academy lesson to show you what I mean.
