Sock Monster!

On Monday morning there were odd socks lying all of the classroom! Miss Darby soon found a bag of more odd socks. The sock monster must have been in to the classroom overnight. The children worked hard to pair up all of the socks. What maths could they do with the socks? They soon realised that socks always come in 2s. The children learnt how to chant in 2s using the socks to help them! What fun maths.

Maths this week

In this weeks maths lessons we are going to carry on using the Part-Part-Whole method to complete number sentences. The children have been using the frames and counters to complete number sentences.

When 9 is the whole number there are 5 different combinations of 2 parts….

  1.  0 and 9
  2. 1 and 8
  3. 2 and 7
  4. 3 and 6
  5. 4 and 5

We are looking at lots of different ways of writing the same number sentence.

  1.  0+9=9
  2.  9+0=9
  3.  9=9+0
  4.  9=0+9
