This half term, we are continuing our addition and subtraction learning in maths and most recently, this has included adding and taking away ten from a two digit number.
The children can resourceful by using a 100 square to support them with this learning so they can see the patterns of adding and taking away 10 visually.
In class, we might use sentence frames to explain the highlighted numbers on the 100 square above.
78 is 10 more than 68 and 58 is 10 less than 68.
See if your child can use the sentence frame below to explain some of the other highlighted numbers.
__ is 10 more than ___ and ___ is 10 less than ___
To practise this at home, have a go at the Chopper Squad game (selecting ten more or less 1 to 100).
Using Numbots at home, little and often, is a great way to practise these addition and subtraction skills. The children have a number of different levels to complete and are rewarded with certificates for each level they achieve. We continue to have our weekly leader board for the most coins achieved.
We will soon be moving onto learning about multiplication and starting to learn the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. After half term, we will be setting timetables for the children to start to learn at home using Times Tables Rock Stars(TTRS). Login and access details will be sent out nearer the time.
