Maths

Starter Activities

Begin with Gem Maths.  Then we are going to carry on practising those numbers between 50 and 60.  Find your hundred square from your learning pack.  You are then going to play Fastest Finger.  Your grown up says a number between 50 and 60 and you point to it on the hundred square as fast as you can.  How many numbers can you find in one minute?

Subtraction - Counting Back

Counting backwards to subtract is an important step to helping children work in the abstract.

It is really straightforward and does exactly what it says on the tin - we count back to subtract.

The important thing to remember is to start counting on the next the number, not the current number.  For example, for 7-2 you would start counting on the six, not the seven.

You have a wipeable number line in your home learning pack you can use to help solve these problems.
