Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 24 & 25.
For Year 1's this focuses on the signs we use in addition and subtraction calculations. Knowing the names for these signs is very important as is the fact that there are different words for each sign e.g. -, take away, subtract, minus. There are lots of fun games at the site below to further support your child's confidence with these operations.

For Year 2's this focuses on subtraction of 2 two-digit numbers. We use the same approach as outlined last week for using lines and dots to represent the tens and ones but this time we make the first amount and cross out the second amount:
If we do not have enough ones to take away, then we exchange a ten for ten ones first:
Don't forget to keep up all your fantastic efforts with your reading at home - it will make a huge impact on your child's reading development. Keep using the range of questions we discussed last week too!
If you have any issues or questions, please, please come and see us at the end of the day. Just come down the steps to see us!
Have a lovely weekend!
Best wishes
