Maths
We will continue with our altering of the structure of maths lessons as this is working well. The whole class will receive a carpet input and then all children will go to their tables to complete an activity (some children will be supported by an adult) then there will be 2-3 challenges if children finish the main activity. The children will then return to the carpet for the last 20 minutes of the session and complete some maths fluency and number sense work. This will include: number bonds within 20, one more/less, counting in 2, 5s and 10s, doubles, halves. Whilst Mrs Hesketh or myself are teaching the class, the other adults in the room will be marking books and calling children over if they have any corrections. This means misconceptions can be identified immediately. We started this before Christmas and we cannot believe the impact it has had in such a short space of time.
The focus for Spring 2 will be:
Week 1 - Addition and Subtraction within 20
Week 2 - Addition and Subtraction within 20
Week 3 - Multiplication and Division
Week 4 - Multiplication and Division
Week 5 - Fractions
Week 6 - Fractions
