This week we have focused on using addition to write equations. We started by looking at whole and part models and focusing on partition skills. We had to explain our workings to an adults – ‘this part is 7 and this part is 2 the whole equals 9’. We can write the equation to looks like this 7+2=9

Children created their own equation stories, using their addition skills as well as writing number bonds to 5 and 10.

We have not only focused on applying and discussing our maths learning but forming all of our numbers to 10 correctly.

Look how proud we look!

These skills will come in handy as we progress onto subtraction work next week. Well done Group 1!
