Reception pupils will be working on addition and subtraction this week, using and understanding the language of minus, subtract, plus, equals to and altogether. We will be looking at the nursery rhyme ‘Down at the station’ along with using the big Picture image to act out riding on a train, where people get on and off at each stop, therefore the total number of people on the train will be changing.

Year One pupils will be continuing to work on their 2 digit and place value skills. We will be using a range of resources and comparing numbers. We will also be making sure to use our star maths words when explaining our findings (compare, identity, equals to, greater, less, digit and value). Take a look at the images below? Can you explain to your grown ups, how do you know the answer? Can you prove it? Can you think of your questions to ask them?

Don’t forget to send in any photos via Tapestry of any additional work you do, we would love to see you continue your learning outside of school.
