Today the children came up with rules for sorting 3 D shapes. They used their known vocabulary to support. E.g. apex vs no apex, curved surface vs no curved surface.

Reviewed: number bonds to 10, doubling, one more, subitising to support addition

# data[].attributes.body
Today we practised halving 2 digit numbers using our base 10. We partitioned the 10s and 1s. We practised exchanging a ten when we came across teen numbers and numbers in the 30 and 50s.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we practised and reviewed different maths skills and linked it to the book of 365 penguins.

Activity 1: use tens and ones to partition 2 digit numbers

Activity 2: use the numicon to support doubling facts

Activity 3: collect data and create a bar chart

Activity 4: 1:1 counting correspondence

Activity 5: identify the 2 factors and calculate the product. Skip count in 2s, 5s and 10s

# data[].attributes.body
Today we used numicon manipulatives to support our understanding of finding missing numbers in balancing equations. We counted out how many 5s we’d need then grouped them into 10s to find out the missing factor. We used our understanding of doubling and halving to check our answers were correct.

Consolidating methods for multiplication using peer support

# data[].attributes.body
We needed some extra consolidation time to be able to see how one group of 10 equals the same as 2 groups of 5. We recapped on the vocabulary double and half of to try and see the patterns that evolved.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we practised ordering the multiples of 10 on a numberline. We then practised our skip counting forwards and backwards.

Today we were able to distinguish between “Ty” and “teen” numbers doing impressions of teenagers or drinking a cup of tea to distinguish between the two .We then sorted some numbers into teens or Ty putting the Ty numbers into our tea cups .

# data[].attributes.body
Today we recapped our teen numbers making sure we are saying teen and not ty.We made different teen numbers using a ten then adding the correct ones cards .We then looked at between and were able to circle two numbers and give the correct numbers between the two given numbers using full sentences and using the word between.

Today we practised reading word problems. We spoke about understanding and trying to visualise what was being asked, children then had a go at representing this through pictures or ‘groups of’. A great first try!

11/12/25 Partition 2 digit numbers, three ways and show more than one way

# data[].attributes.body
Today we used part whole models and our base 10 to support us partitioning 2 digit numbers, three ways. We wanted to use an effective strategy to ensure that we used all the ways possible. Today we focused on moving tens and discussed the pattern that occurred- 10 more vs 10 less. We practised writing our equations.

Today we reviewed the use of part, part whole models and looked at the parts that make up a teen number. We used the sentence stems to support our knowledge. We also looked at ways of making 14. This was used as a pre teach to support our learning when we reviewed partitioning in more than one way, next week.

1/12/25 Using a gattegno chart to support us finding 10 more and 10 less than a 2 digit number

# data[].attributes.body
Initially we practised reviewing how a gattegno chart can support us recognising how a 2 digit number can be partitioned, e.g. 20 and 2 = 22. The children practised showing me 2 digit numbers. We then practised counting forwards and backwards in tens using our chart. Finally we got to choose our own 2 digit numbers and practised creating our own tens sequence using the gattegno chart.

This week we have focused on consolidating our number line skills. We have learnt to partition the number we’re adding or subtracting and jump to the nearest ten. We have found this new skill very tricky and need a lot more practise.

Year 2 generated ideas for their own pictograms. They then chose the options to choose from and voted for their favourite cake. We then answered questions about what our data showed. We focused on vocabulary such as greater than, less than, fewer, more, most popular, least popular. We spent time reviewing the idea of ‘finding the difference’ between two options and turning this in a subtraction.

The children used spinners to practise using -1/+1, add 1/subtract 1 and 1 more/1 less for numbers to 10. They then practised recording on their whiteboards.
