This week we are going to be learning about...
- addition
- exciting vocabulary in stories
We will be learning...
- to find the total number of objects in two groups by counting all of them
- to solve addition calculations using objects
- to solve addition calculations by counting on from a number in our heads
- to develop rapid recall of simple addition facts e.g 2 + 2 or 3 + 1
- to solve problems involving addition
- to partition 2 and 3 digit numbers
- to solve addition calculations by partitioning
- to listen and respond to a range of stories
- to predict what might happen next in a story
- how to use exciting and interesting vocabulary to make stories more exciting
- how to recognise and create similies, e.g "as hot as the sun" or "as big as an elephant."
You can help me at home by...
- exploring addition with me through play, for example, if I have two cars and you have three, how many do we have altogether?
- playing games with me that involve counting on, for example, a board game where we have to move on a given number of spaces
- playing games to develop my mental maths - see http://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button and http://www.ictgames.com/funkymum.html
- reading stories with me, asking me questions about the events, characters and setting
- asking me to make predictions about what might happen next in stories we read
- talking about descriptive words in stories and what they mean, explaining any words I don't know
- encouraging me to use new words I have learnt from books when I am talking or writing
