As part of our work on division, the children have been learning how to make equal groups. Today, the children used practical apparatus to group objects and calculate the answers to simple division calculations.
Today, the children have been exploring and building their own arrays. They used a range of concrete apparatus to create the rows and columns that make up an array. This practical maths will help to deepen our understanding of arrays before we move onto pictorial representations tomorrow.

Maths in Eagles | 12 May 2023
In Maths this week, Eagles have been looking at doubles and near doubles within 20. They confidently added spots to their ladybirds or selected Numicon to represent all of the doubles to 20. Eagles then used their knowledge of doubles to help them calculate near doubles like 7+8.
As part of our work on addition, Eagles class have been learning about doubles. Some children used Numicon to explore this concept whilst others calculated missing numbers from doubles calculations. Here are some photos of us working!
As part of our work on addition, the children applied their skills to a problem solving game called ‘Strike it Out.’ The children had to write addition calculations to 20, crossing out each of the numbers they used. Whilst writing many addition calculations, the children used a broad range of numbers. The challenge was to …
