Money, Money, Money!

This week at school we introduced the boys to some simple money activities. We worked on coin recognition, adding 1p and 2p coins and we even counted in twos! If you are able to continue to practise doing this at home it will really support what we are doing in school.

Some boys chose to play a money game on the computer. If you would like to play at home you can use this link

Today we will begin to solve simple division sums. This will be done in a practical way where the boys will physically share items between groups. I will also be introducing them to the division sign. Again, if you are able to support this at home it will really helpful.

I have been pleased to hear that the boys are enjoying the Mathletics activities at home. They are very excited about the points they are scoring! If you haven’t had chance to use this website yet please have a look as there are some great activities on there.

Thank you!
