Addition

P1 have started to explore addition in maths.  We have been looking at the 'stories' of  numbers for example working out how many different ways you can make 6.  This was a good problem solving activity and some people were able to find lots of ways to make a total.

We then used what we had learned to solve addition sums using cubes, counters, dinosaurs and other materials.  It is really important that children have a good understanding of what addition means and how you can help yourself to solve tricky sums.  So even if you think you might know they answer - check using your materials!
