Maths update: Number sense

We're spending this half term working on their basic number skills, so understanding numbers, place value into 3 digits (and beyond!) and practising more efficient ways of addition and subtraction.

First, I checked they were comfortable switching between numbers as numerals and words, and were able to write a spoken number correctly as digits.

Next, we recapped partitioning. The Year 2 NC has the target to partition the same number in different ways, so I made up a simple worksheet to test that.

You can download our worksheet here.

Alhamdulillah, they managed to do it with no issues. Next, we're going to revise efficient mental methods for adding 2-digit numbers and I want to introduce them to the column method inshaAllah.
