Emily has been independently practicing all the strategies we have been learning in our ALiM group at school at home by herself!  She is really stretching her brain and becoming a super mathematician!! Check out the amazing poster she made.  Go Emily!

Making ten and other tidy numbers

Group 2 have been learning about tidy numbers and rounding numbers to the nearest ten to make it easier to add and subtract.  We can make the numbers with materials, break numbers into parts to make tidy numbers and then add or subtract to find the answer.


This is the strategy that we have been learning. 

Learning our Doubles.

All of the groups have been learning their doubles and have been playing Doubles Bingo.  We are getting really fast at just 'knowing' our doubles now.

Groups 2 and 3 have also been learning the doubles plus and minus 1 strategy to work out unknown facts.  This is the chart we made to explain the strategy and to remind us when we try and teach it to others in the class.
