Good morning penguins!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready for another week of learning and growing our brains.
Maths
We are continuing to look at part part whole this week but are going to write the numbers in the part space and see if we can count on in our head and using a numberline. This is quite tricky so if you haven’t quite mastered drawing the circles to find the missing number, work on that instead until you can do that confidently and independently. Watch the video and have a go. Once you’ve watched the video, how many ways can you find to make 10 and then 11?
Challenge: can you write what you have found as number sentences?
