Maths

LI: To recall skills and knowledge for addition, subtraction, multiplication, fraction and place value.

This week for maths we were practising our maths knowledge and skills. We practised: Adding and Subtracting decimal numbers, adding and subtracting time, times tables, grouping/division, calculating area and perimeter and identifying fractions of sets. The strategies we used were: Basic Facts, Tidy numbers, Place Value, Repeated Addition, Rounding & Compensating, Written Algorithm and Reversing. How to reverse: For example you have an equation which is: 55 -  32 = ?. You reverse the question which is: 32 + ? = 55. 2 + 3 = 5. 30 + 20 = 50. 20 + 3 = 23. 55 - 32 = 23.
