Stay and Play Maths Games

Parents/carers were invited to join us at school on Friday 6th and Friday 20th October to learn a bit more about how their children learn about mathematical concepts and how games can help develop their child's fluency with number.

Reception learnt about subitising; Year 1 investigated the use of a number line for counting on and back; Year 2 played Strike It Out to develop recall of number bonds to 20 and Year 3 used some of this previously taught knowledge to apply it to calculating complements to 100 - playing the game 4 Rolls to 100!

The focus turned to multiplication and division for years 4, 5 and 6. Year 4 learnt about arrays and their use to visualise multiplication facts, whilst Year 5 took a few journeys across a Gattengno chart and Year 6 used their understanding of multiplication and division to identify factors and multiples. 

We were delighted to see so many parents and carers join their child/ren to have fun playing games whilst developing number sense and fluency!
