This week we have started to look at subtraction. We have been using objects and physically taking some away. The children pretended to be magicians and used a wand (and Harry Potter glasses) to start with 10 monsters. They then did a spell to make some disappear and worked out how many they left. We used the stem sentences “First I had 10 monsters. Then 4 disappeared. Now there are 6 left.”
We then moved on to use our part whole models and to use subtraction to help us find the missing part.
We have also been focusing on correct number formation this week and our funky fingers challenges was putting pegs onto the correct flowers and then writing the number correctly – no cheeky reversed numbers!
