- Working with equipment to find number bonds.
-
- Helping each other to find more number bonds.

- Year 2 representing numbers on tens frames and comparing them. We started with small numbers to recap the mathematical vocabulary for comparing.
Last week we were super busy in our Maths lessons. Year One were using different representations to help deepen their understanding of addition including number bonds. Year Two were using mathematical vocabulary and symbols to compare numbers and number sentences.
In addition to our daily Maths lessons we also started our new Mastering Number lessons. These are three to four short lessons per week that focus on strengthening our understanding of number and improve our fluency with number facts.
